<h2>Thread ID value and size</h2>
<p>In some threads implementations, the thread ID is a 4-byte integer that
starts at 1 and increases by 1 every time a thread is created. This integer can
be used in a non-portable fashion by an application.</p>
<p>To assist in the portability problem with the application and to allow
retrieval of the thread ID, the iSeries implementation has provided the <strong>
pthread_getunique_np</strong>() function to retrieve the thread ID from the
Pthread handle. This thread ID is a 64-bit integer value. Because some
compilers do not yet support a full 64-bit integer data type, the value is
returned in a structure containing two 4-byte integers.</p>
