r> I am inserting a row into a table with this structure

Assuming you mean ID int not null primary key auto_increment (or
something like that).

r> Then according to the manual I have to use (to quote)
r> "printf ("Last inserted record has id %d\n", mysql_insert_id());"

r> will this return the row number or the "id" fields value..?

FYI, you could:
a) try it and see
b) see what the manual has to say: 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php

The answer is "Gets the id generated from the previous INSERT
operation".
