PTHREAD_SET_NAME_NP(3) Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_SET_NAME_NP(3)

pthread_set_name_np, pthread_get_name_npset the name of a thread

#include <pthread.h>
#include <pthread_np.h>

void
pthread_set_name_np(pthread_t thread, const char *name);

void
pthread_get_name_np(pthread_t thread, char *name, size_t len);

The () function associates name with thread. This can be useful for debugging, as the name is displayed in the thread status as displayed when the process receives the SIGINFO signal.

The string pointed to by name is copied, and so need not be valid for the life of the thread.

The () function retrieves name associated with thread.
