# 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.
