pthread_setname_np() -- assign name to thread

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_setname_np(pthread_t thread, const char *name);

The pthread_setname_np() function assigns the specified name to the specified thread. This is useful for debugging purposes, so that threads can be identified symbolically. If a name is specified for a thread, it will be displayed by the NuTCRACKER Platform debugging utilities. The name can be obtained programmatically with the pthread_getname_np() function.

PARAMETERS

thread: Is the thread to which the name is assigned.
name: Is the name to assign to the thread.

RETURN VALUES

On success, pthread_setname_np() returns 0. On error, one of the following values is returned:

ESRCH: thread does not specify a currently running thread in the process.
EFAULT: name is an invalid pointer.
