I can create a thread, join to it and use the thread id in pthread_getcpuclockid function after that. The Linux Programmer's Manual has the following errors section: "ESRCHÂ No thread with the ID thread could be found." Does pthread_getcpuclockid function from musl follows the similar errors handling approach? Thanks, Alexandr. > > Rich
