pthread_equal Subroutine



Purpose

Compares two thread IDs.

Library

Threads Library (libpthreads.a)

Syntax

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_equal (thread1, thread2)
pthread_t thread1;
pthread_t thread2;

Description

The pthread_equal subroutine compares the thread IDs thread1 and thread2.
Since the thread IDs are opaque objects, it should not be assumed
that they can be compared using the equality operator (==).

Note:	The pthread.h header file must be the first included file of
each source file using the threads library.

Parameters

thread1	Specifies the first ID to be compared.

thread2	Specifies the second ID to be compared.

Return Values

If the two IDs are different, 0 is returned. Otherwise, a non-zero
value is returned.

Implementation Specifics

This subroutine is part of the Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
