VMS Help POSIX Threads, TIS routines, tis_self  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Returns the identifier of the calling thread.

1 - C Binding

    #include <tis.h>

    pthread_t
    tis_self (void);

2 - Arguments

    None

3 - Description

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

    This value becomes meaningless when the thread is destroyed.

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

4 - Return Values

    Returns the thread identifier of the calling thread.

5 - Associated Routines

       pthread_create()
