# PR_GetCurrentThread
|
|
|
|
Returns the current thread object for the currently running code.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
```{code}
|
|
#include <prthread.h>
|
|
|
|
PRThread* PR_GetCurrentThread(void);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Returns
|
|
|
|
Always returns a valid reference to the calling thread--a self-identity.
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
The currently running thread may discover its own identity by calling
|
|
{ref}`PR_GetCurrentThread`.
|
|
|
|
:::{note}
|
|
This is the only safe way to establish the identity of a
|
|
thread. Creation and enumeration are both subject to race conditions.
