+<concept id="GUID-1EDE641E-EF8C-542D-A7B3-7C496D41EF3D" xml:lang="en"><title>Thread
+and Process ID</title><shortdesc>Each thread and process is allocated an ID which is unique across
+all threads and processes.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p> The ID is allocated when the thread or process is created. The main motivation
+for the ID is to provide assistance for debuggers; it provides an easy way
+to identify threads and processes.</p>
+<p>In general, applications and servers can use IDs for thread and process
+identification or, indeed, for whatever purpose that suits them.</p>
+<p>While a thread ID is a property of the thread, it can be retrieved from
+the thread by calling <xref href="GUID-B0E661BC-4058-3256-B9C3-5A4FD52F6DE5.dita#GUID-B0E661BC-4058-3256-B9C3-5A4FD52F6DE5/GUID-4B001A02-9F18-376E-868E-A2BB69637ED5"><apiname>RThread::Id()</apiname></xref>. The ID is encapsulated
+by a <codeph>TThreadId</codeph> object that is returned by the function.</p>
+<p>The <codeph>TThreadId</codeph> class provides <codeph>==</codeph> and <codeph>!=</codeph> operators
+for comparing two thread IDs.</p>
+<p>The process ID is similar; it can be retrieved from the process by calling <xref href="GUID-9DD1EA2B-DC59-315C-8E9C-CE6D9461B695.dita#GUID-9DD1EA2B-DC59-315C-8E9C-CE6D9461B695/GUID-F35D5AF1-46CC-3F24-AFE6-4539EE470E3D"><apiname>RProcess::Id()</apiname></xref>,
+and is encapsulated by a <codeph>TProcessId</codeph> object returned by the
+function.</p>
