Can anyone suggest me how to get the threadId using 2.6.x kernels.
pthread_self() does not work and returns some -ve integer.
What do you mean, negative integer? It's not an integer, it's a
pthread_t, you're not even supposed to look at it..
What is pthread_t inturn defined to ? pthread_self for 2.4.x thread
libraries return +ve number(as u have a objection me calling it as
integer :-))

it doesn't return a number it returns a pointer ;) or a floating point
number. You don't know :)

what it returns is a *cookie*. A cookie that you can only use to pass
back to various pthread functions.

Hahaha......common. Please clarify following....
SYNOPSIS
