PTHREAD_EQUAL(3) | Linux Programmer's Manual | PTHREAD_EQUAL(3) |
NAME¶
pthread_equal - compare thread IDs
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <pthread.h> int pthread_equal(pthread_t t1, pthread_t t2); Compile and link with -pthread.
DESCRIPTION¶
The pthread_equal() function compares two thread identifiers.
RETURN VALUE¶
If the two thread IDs are equal, pthread_equal() returns a nonzero value; otherwise, it returns 0.
ERRORS¶
This function always succeeds.
CONFORMING TO¶
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES¶
The pthread_equal() function is necessary because thread IDs should be considered opaque: there is no portable way for applications to directly compare two pthread_t values.
