				.Sh DESCRIPTION
				The

				.Va id
				in the current process, to the NULL-terminated string
				.Va name .
				The thread name can be seen in the output of the
				.Xr ps 1
				emasteUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions The thread name can emaste: The thread name can

				commands, in the kernel debuggers and kernel tracing facility outputs,
				also in userland debuggers and program core files, as notes.
				.Sh RETURN VALUES
				If successful,
				emasteUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions and emaste: and
				.Fn thr_set_name
				will return zero, otherwise \-1 is returned, and
				.Va errno
				is set to indicate the error.
				.Sh ERRORS
				The
