NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       pthread_getsequence_np - Obtains the unique identifier for
       the specified thread

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <pthread.h>

       unsigned long pthread_getsequence_np(
               pthread_t thread );

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Thread object whose sequence number is to be obtained.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       This routine obtains and  returns  the  DECthreads  thread
       sequence  number  for  the thread identified by the thread
       object specified in the thread argument.

       The thread sequence number provides  a  unique  identifier
       for  each existing thread. A thread's thread sequence number
 is never reused while the thread exists,  but  can  be
       reused  after  the  thread terminates. The debugger interfaces
 use this sequence number to identify each thread  in
       commands and in display output.

       The  result  of  calling  this routine is undefined if the
       thread argument does not specify a valid thread object.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       No errors are returned.  This  routine  returns  the  DECthreads
  thread  sequence number for the thread identified
       by the thread object specified in the thread argument. The
       result  of calling this routine is undefined if the thread
       argument does not specify a valid thread.
