pthread_equal(3)           Library Functions Manual           pthread_equal(3)

NAME
       pthread_equal - compare thread IDs

LIBRARY
       POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_equal(pthread_t t1, pthread_t t2);

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.

STANDARDS
       POSIX.1-2008.

HISTORY
       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.
