37 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
38 | The | |
39 | .BR pthread_equal () | |
40 | function compares two thread identifiers. | |
41 | .SH RETURN VALUE | |
42 | If the two thread IDs are equal, | |
43 | .BR pthread_equal () | |
c7094399 | 44 | returns a nonzero value; otherwise, it returns 0. |

61 | .SH NOTES |
62 | The | |
63 | .BR pthread_equal () | |
64 | function is necessary because thread IDs should be considered opaque: | |
65 | there is no portable way for applications to directly compare two | |
66 | .I pthread_t | |
67 | values. | |
