        assert(0 == rc);
        pthread_join(tid, NULL);

        return 0;
}

notice:

1. SYS_gettid is defined in sys/syscall.h;

2. the location of sys/syscall.h in Ubuntu PC is like /usr/include.

3. use the below build cmd to complile gettid.c:

gcc -pthread -o gettid gettid.c

the execution result:

aspirs@ubuntu1204:/work/syscall/gettid$ ./gettid 
main thread lwpid: 4960
main thread tid: 3298965248
child thread lwpid: 4961
child thread id: 3290658560
come out for fresh air!
come out for fresh air!

the result of 'ps -T -p 4960' during process 'gettid' running:

aspirs@ubuntu1204:/usr/include$ ps -T -p 4960
  PID  SPID TTY          TIME CMD
 4960  4960 pts/3    00:00:00 gettid
 4960  4961 pts/3    00:00:00 gettid

according to gettid's log, we can know 4960 and 4961 on SPID column are the TIDs of main thread of gettid and the another thread in gettid.

the result of 'top -H -p 4960' during process gettid running:
