💖 NAME 💖

APR::OS — the Perl API for the platform-specific APR API ✨

okay bestie, get comfy, because this one is tiny but it comes with a big fat warning and you need to hear it. 🫶

---

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

lowkey the whole vibe in two lines:

use APR::OS ();

# get current thread id
my $tid = APR::OS::current_thread_id();

that's the tea. 🍓

---

🦋 Description 🦋

APR::OS hands you a Perl interface to the platform-specific APR API. it's giving "backstage pass to the OS-specific stuff". 💅

⚠️ GIRL. BE CAREFUL. you should be extremely careful when relying on any of the API this module gives you, because none of it is portable. so if you use it, your application will be non-portable too. no cap, that's just how it is. 😭

---

✨ API ✨

APR::OS gives you the following methods:

🧵 current_thread_id

Get the current thread ID. literally what it says on the tin. 👑

$tid = APR::OS::current_thread_id();

• ret: $tid ( integer ) — under threaded MPMs it returns the current thread ID, otherwise it's 0.
• since: 2.0.00

Example — the classic "am I threaded or not" situation:

use Apache2::MPM ();
use APR::OS ();
if (Apache2::MPM->is_threaded) {
    my $tid_obj = APR::OS::current_thread_id();
    print "TID: $tid";
}
else {
    print "PID: $$";
}

(it's giving detective energy honestly, figuring out which one you are 🕵️♀️)
