NAME
pthread_get_name_np,
pthread_getname_np,
pthread_set_name_np
pthread_setname_np —
set and retrieve the thread
name
LIBRARY
library “libpthread”
SYNOPSIS
#include
<pthread_np.h>
void
pthread_get_name_np(pthread_t
thread, char *name,
size_t len);
int
pthread_getname_np(pthread_t
thread, char *name,
size_t len);
void
pthread_set_name_np(pthread_t
thread, const char
*name);
int
pthread_setname_np(pthread_t
thread, const char
*name);
DESCRIPTION
Thepthread_set_name_np()
and
pthread_setname_np()
functions apply a copy of the given name to the given
thread.
The
pthread_get_name_np()
and
pthread_getname_np()
functions retrieve the name associated with
thread. If
pthread_set_name_np() was not previously called for
thread, the buffer pointed to by
name will be empty.
ERRORS
The pthread_getname_np and
pthread_setname_np will fail if
- [
ESRCH] - No thread could be found in the current process corresponding to that specified by the given thread ID thread.
Because of the debugging nature of
pthread_get_name_np and
pthread_set_name_np functions, all errors that may
appear inside are silently ignored.
SEE ALSO
STANDARDS
pthread_set_name_np() and
pthread_get_name_np() are non-standard extensions.
pthread_setname_np() and
pthread_getname_np() are also non-standard, but are
implemented by larger number of operating systems so they are in fact more
portable.
