Hi,

On linux, under the jvm process of pid=xxxxx, threads usually gets listed under /proc/xxxx/tasks/*. I am trying to get the 'yyyyy' number in the proc filesystem for the current jvm
thread, as in /proc/self/task/yyyyy.

As you can see, the jvm pid is not even required since there is a sym link
/proc/self, but there is no such thing for the task id.

So, I don't know enough about the linux programming to drill into jni to pull
this thread id. I was wondering if anyone could tell/show me the thread struct or union that
describes the thread and how to pull the task id with JNA.

I hope to build an api as simple as public int LinuxThreadUtils.getProcessId(); //done: first field of content of
/proc/self/stat public int LinuxThreadUtils.getCurrentThreadTaskId();//TODO

If at all possible, a bonus API would be to get the task id off the current
thread, as in public int LinuxThreadUtils.getThreadTaskId(Thread t);//bonus

Thanks.
