I am trying to track down some threads which are seeing high cpu use in
top(1), but can't work out how to track back from any information available
from struct kinfo_proc back to a thread ID as returned by pthread_self().

The threaded program can print a nice display of its own internal concept
of "thread name", with the value returned by pthread_self(), and on some OS
it also stores what I think is their equivalent of our p_tid, e.g. on linux
it uses syscall(SYS_gettid).

Do we have a way within a threaded program to determine the current thread's
p_tid?

Or is there a way to go from p_tid (or something else available in struct
kinfo_proc) back to a thread ID returned by pthread_self()?

Thanks.
