   #include <sys/lwp.h>
   
   lwpid_t _lwp_self(void);

_lwp_self returns the identifier of the current lightweight process (LWP).

_lwp_self returns the internal-to-the process identifier for the calling LWP.

_lwp_self always succeeds.

Lightweight processes (LWPs) are internal interfaces and are subject to change. Their use should be avoided.
