NAME

6       pthread_equal - compare thread IDs
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <pthread.h>
10
11       int pthread_equal(pthread_t t1, pthread_t t2);
12
13       Compile and link with -pthread.
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The pthread_equal() function compares two thread identifiers.
17

RETURN VALUE

19       If  the  two  thread  IDs  are equal, pthread_equal() returns a nonzero
20       value; otherwise, it returns 0.
21

ERRORS

23       This function always succeeds.
24

CONFORMING TO

26       POSIX.1-2001.
27

NOTES

29       The pthread_equal() function is necessary because thread IDs should  be
30       considered  opaque:  there  is  no  portable  way  for  applications to
31       directly compare two pthread_t values.
