  NAME

      pthread_equal - Compares one thread identifier to another thread
                      identifier.

  SYNOPSIS

      #include <pthread.h>

      equal = pthread_equal( pthread_t *thread1,
                             pthread_t thread2 );

  PARAMETERS

      thread1                The first thread identifier to be compared.

      thread2                The second thread identifier to be compared.

  DESCRIPTION

  This routine compares one thread identifier to another thread identifier.
  (This routine does not check whether the objects that correspond to the
  identifiers currently exist.) If the identifiers have values indicating
  that they designate the same object, 1 (true) is returned. If the values
  do not designate the same object, 0 (false) is returned.

  This routine is implemented as a C macro.

  RETURN VALUES

  Possible return values are as follows:

    Return   Error   Description
    __________________________________________________
     0               Values of thread1 and thread2 do not designate the
                     same object.

     1               Values of thread1 and thread2 designate the same object.

  EXAMPLES

      equal = pthread_equal (thread1, thread2)
