PTHREAD_SET_NAME_NP(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual NAME pthread_set_name_np, pthread_get_name_np - set the name of a thread SYNOPSIS #include <pthread.h> #include <pthread_np.h> void pthread_set_name_np(pthread_t thread, const char *name); void pthread_get_name_np(pthread_t thread, char *name, size_t len); DESCRIPTION The pthread_set_name_np() function associates name with thread. This can be useful for debugging, as the name is displayed in the thread status as displayed when the process receives the SIGINFO signal. The string pointed to by name is copied, and so need not be valid for the life of the thread. The pthread_get_name_np() function retrieves name associated with thread. SEE ALSO pthreads(3) STANDARDS These functions are non-portable and may not be supported with the above semantics on other POSIX systems.
