I think the pthread_set_name_np(3) function is for debugging (reporting) purposes. The names show up when you use 'procstat', 'top', 'ps', etc. If you want to give a thread a name and use that name later in code why not keep that internally in you thread management structures/code and use that same name in the call to pthread_set_name_np?
