NAME
pthread_set_name_np —
set the name of a thread
SYNOPSIS
#include
<pthread.h>
#include <pthread_np.h>
void
pthread_set_name_np(pthread_t
thread, const char
*name);
DESCRIPTION
The
pthread_set_name_np()
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.
SEE ALSO
STANDARDS
The pthread_set_name_np() function is
non-portable and may not be supported with the above semantics on other
POSIX systems.
