Correct :)
But... does it work in a multithreaded application? AFAIK threads share the enviroment variables so
naming threads with this method is not going to work, unless the enviroment is also cloned. I'm
working on a threaded application and what I'd really like is to put some descriptive name on each
thread like "this is the decoder thread" and so on. Is this solvable in Linux right now?
Thanks,
Andy
