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.

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.
