I have been investigating this and can't seem to find a solution. I have a many threaded app that starts threads with pthread_create. I can see them in "ps -eLf", and I can strace each individual thread.

How can I get the value in the LWP column in the running thread itself? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
