Sorry for the OT post, however, I'm unable to locate the subscibe info for the lkml c-programming ml. Hopefully there is at least one person who can help me with this simple problem. It's not critical, but would help with debugging.
I'm writing a project in C on a Gentoo box. I'm using pthreads for the first time, and so far, it's working well. There are 8 threads who stay alive for the duration of execution. When I'm hitting it with a heavy load, I'd like to see which thread it struggling (with top, ps, etc). Unfortunately, They all inherit the name of the executable. Does any one know how to change the name of the thread identifier used in top? I've dug through the oreilly book on pthreads, the man pages, the net, etc. No luck. I probably just don't know the correct name of the "identifier" attribute variable. :( It should be in the attributes somewhere. Unfortunately, the structure doesn't appear to be defined in pthread.h . There doesn't appear to be a pthread_attr_[get|set]*() functions that would fit the bill. TIA, Cooper. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
