I guess this is a little late, and minor, but the "jstack" tool uses the
acronym "nid" for this purpose, which I believe is mapped to the same

I think either this terminology should be unified on the jstack side, or
else the method should be called "getNativeId" or "getNid" or something.
nid is the gettid return value (kernel task ID), which is distinct from
getpid. I doubt there are plans for exposing kernel tasks at the JDK
level. Even glibc attempts to hide task IDs.
