GETTID(2) Linux Programmer's Manual GETTID(2)

NAME
       gettid - get thread identification

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <linux/unistd.h>

       _syscall0(pid_t,gettid)

       pid_t gettid(void);

DESCRIPTION
       gettid returns the thread ID of the current process. This
       is equal to the process ID (as returned by getpid(2)),
       unless the process is part of a thread group (created by
       specifying the CLONE_THREAD flag to the clone(2) system
       call). All processes in the same thread group have the
       same PID, but each one has a unique TID.

CONFORMING TO
       gettid is Linux specific and should not be used in pro­
       grams that are intended to be portable.

SEE ALSO
       getpid(2), clone(2), fork(2)
