DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       This  routine  allows  a  thread  to obtain its own thread
       identifier.

       This  value  becomes  meaningless  when  the   thread   is
       destroyed.

       The initial thread in a process can "change identity" when
       thread system initialization completes--that is, when  the
       DECthreads  multithreading run-time environment is loaded.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Returns the thread identifier of the calling thread.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       None
