EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       None.

RATIONALE
       The pthread_self() function provides a capability similar to  the  get-
       pid()  function  for  processes and the rationale is the same: the cre-
       ation call does not provide the thread ID to the created thread.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
