Thread-ID

Get a unique ID for the current thread in Rust.

For diagnostics and debugging it can often be useful to get an ID that is different for every thread. Until Rust 1.14, the standard library did not expose a way to do that, hence this crate.

Example

use std::thread;
use thread_id;

thread::spawn(move || {
    println!("spawned thread has id {}", thread_id::get());
});

println!("main thread has id {}", thread_id::get());

This will print two different numbers.
