PR_GetCurrentThread

Returns the current thread object for the currently running code.

Syntax

#include <prthread.h>

PRThread* PR_GetCurrentThread(void);

Returns

Always returns a valid reference to the calling thread–a self-identity.

Description

The currently running thread may discover its own identity by calling PR_GetCurrentThread.

Note

This is the only safe way to establish the identity of a thread. Creation and enumeration are both subject to race conditions.
