PTHREAD_SET_NAME_NP(3) Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_SET_NAME_NP(3) NAME pthread_get_name_np, pthread_getname_np, pthread_set_name_np, pthread_setname_np -- set and retrieve the thread name LIBRARY POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread) 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 The pthread_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 corre- sponding 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 thr_set_name(2), pthread_np(3) STANDARDS pthread_set_name_np() and pthread_get_name_np() are non-standard exten- sions. pthread_setname_np() and pthread_getname_np() are also non-stan- dard, but are implemented by larger number of operating systems so they are in fact more portable.
