Well, none of the answers have been correct enough.
pthread_t is a thread ID but POSIX does not mention the underlying data.
If you like to write portable code, you ned to be aware of this fact.
IIRC, pthread_t is:
a small number starting from 1... Solaris
a pid Linux
a filedescriptor MS-WIN (well, there are no POSIX
threads but it makes sense to mention
it)
a pointer several other OS.
If you like to be portable, read the POSIX definitions from opengroup.org and
do not make any asumption not mentioned there.
