PTHREAD_EQUAL(3C) Standard C Library Functions PTHREAD_EQUAL(3C)

pthread_equal - compare thread IDs

cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ library... ]
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_equal(pthread_t t1, pthread_t t2);

The pthread_equal() function compares the thread IDs t1 and t2.

The pthread_equal() function returns a non-zero value if t1 and t2 are equal. Otherwise, 0 is returned.

If t1 or t2 is an invalid thread ID, the behavior is undefined.

No errors are defined.

Solaris thread IDs do not require an equivalent function because the thread_t structure is an unsigned int.
