+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.
+
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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.
