pthread_setname_np, pthread_getname_np - set/get the name of a
thread
Синопсис (Synopsis)
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_setname_np(pthread_t thread, const char *name);
int pthread_getname_np(pthread_t thread, char *name, size_t len);
Compile and link with -pthread.
Описание (Description)
By default, all the threads created using pthread_create()
inherit the program name. The pthread_setname_np() function can
be used to set a unique name for a thread, which can be useful
for debugging multithreaded applications. The thread name is a
meaningful C language string, whose length is restricted to 16
characters, including the terminating null byte ('\0'). The
thread argument specifies the thread whose name is to be changed;
name specifies the new name.
The pthread_getname_np() function can be used to retrieve the
name of the thread. The thread argument specifies the thread
whose name is to be retrieved. The buffer name is used to return
the thread name; len specifies the number of bytes available in
name. The buffer specified by name should be at least 16
characters in length. The returned thread name in the output
buffer will be null terminated.
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
On success, these functions return 0; on error, they return a
nonzero error number.
Ошибки (Error)
The pthread_setname_np() function can fail with the following
error:
ERANGE The length of the string specified pointed to by name
exceeds the allowed limit.
The pthread_getname_np() function can fail with the following
error:
ERANGE The buffer specified by name and len is too small to hold
the thread name.
If either of these functions fails to open
/proc/self/task/[tid]/comm, then the call may fail with one of
the errors described in open(2).
Версии (Versions)
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.12.

Стандарты (Conforming to)
These functions are nonstandard GNU extensions; hence the suffix
"_np" (nonportable) in the names.
Примечание (Note)
pthread_setname_np() internally writes to the thread-specific
comm file under the /proc filesystem: /proc/self/task/[tid]/comm.
pthread_getname_np() retrieves it from the same location.
Примеры (Examples)
The program below demonstrates the use of pthread_setname_np()
and pthread_getname_np().
The following shell session shows a sample run of the program:
$ ./a.out
Created a thread. Default name is: a.out
The thread name after setting it is THREADFOO.
^Z # Suspend the program
[1]+ Stopped ./a.out
$ ps H -C a.out -o 'pid tid cmd comm'
PID TID CMD COMMAND
5990 5990 ./a.out a.out
5990 5991 ./a.out THREADFOO
$ cat /proc/5990/task/5990/comm
a.out
$ cat /proc/5990/task/5991/comm
THREADFOO
