NAME


       pthread_equal - compare thread IDs

 

SYNOPSIS


       #include 

       int pthread_equal(pthread_t t1, pthread_t t2);


 

DESCRIPTION






       This function shall compare the thread IDs t1 and t2.

 

RETURN VALUE


       The pthread_equal() function shall return a non-zero value if t1 and t2
       are equal; otherwise, zero shall be returned.

       If either t1 or t2 are not valid thread IDs, the behavior is undefined.

 

ERRORS


       No errors are defined.

       The pthread_equal() function shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

       The following sections are informative.

 

EXAMPLES


       None.

 

APPLICATION USAGE


       None.

 

RATIONALE


       Implementations may choose to define a thread ID as a  structure.  This
       allows  additional  flexibility  and  robustness over using an int. For
       example, a thread ID could include a sequence number that allows detec-
       tion  of "dangling IDs" (copies of a thread ID that has been detached).
       Since the C language does not support comparison  on  structure  types,
       the pthread_equal() function is provided to compare thread IDs.

 

FUTURE DIRECTIONS


       None.
