RE: Thread ID

["Sarcar, Shourya (MED)" <Shourya.Sarcar@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

you can get the handle / id of a thread from within itself using the
pthread_self() call. 
the following is slightly AIX biased doc but will work with all pthread
implementations all the same.
For a tuorial on pthreads, go to the lawrence livermore national lab site..

The pthread_self function will not return an error code of EINTR.
