Originální popis anglicky:
gettid - get thread identification
Návod, kniha: Linux Programmer's Manual
#include <sys/types.h>

_syscall0(pid_t,gettid)
pid_t gettid(void);
gettid returns the thread ID of the current process. This is equal to the
process ID (as returned by
getpid(2)), unless the process is part of a
thread group (created by specifying the CLONE_THREAD flag to the
clone(2) system call). All processes in the same thread group have the
same PID, but each one has a unique TID.
On success, returns the thread ID of the current process.
This call is always successful.
gettid is Linux specific and should not be used in programs that are
intended to be portable.
