# PRThread
|
|
|
|
An NSPR thread.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
```{code}
|
|
#include <prthread.h>
|
|
|
|
typedef struct PRThread PRThread;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
In NSPR, a thread is represented by a pointer to an opaque structure of
|
|
type {ref}`PRThread`. This pointer is a required parameter for most of the
|
|
functions that operate on threads.
|
|
|
|
A `PRThread*` is the successful result of creating a new thread. The
|
|
identifier remains valid until it returns from its root function and, if
|
|
the thread was created joinable, is joined.
