calling pthread_self (on ubuntu), expensive?

Hi all, Is anyone aware of what operations are involved when a call to pthread_self() is made, obtaining the unique thread ID on a Ubuntu system (or even any Linux flavour)? Specifically, to retrieve the thread id, is there any locking required or atomic operations? I'm building an...

APPROX.CONF(5)                                                  File Formats Manual                                                 APPROX.CONF(5)

NAME

       approx.conf - configuration file for approx proxy server

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/approx/approx.conf

DESCRIPTION

       Each  non-blank line of the configuration file should contain a name/value pair, separated by white space.  Comments start with a "#" char-
       acter and continue to the end of the line.

       Names that begin with the "$" character are reserved for use as configuration parameters.  The following parameters are currently defined:

       $cache Specifies the location of the approx cache directory (default: /var/cache/approx).  It and all its subdirectories must be  owned  by
              the approx server (see also the $user and $group parameters, below.)

       $interval
              Specifies the time in minutes after which a cached file will be considered too old to deliver without first checking with the remote
              repository for a newer version (default: 60)

       $max_rate
              Specifies the maximum download rate from remote repositories, in bytes per second (default: unlimited).  The value may  be  suffixed
              with "K", "M", or "G" to indicate kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes per second, respectively.

       $max_redirects
              Specifies the maximum number of HTTP redirections that will be followed when downloading a remote file (default: 5)

       $user, $group
              Specifies the user and group that owns the files in the approx cache (default: approx)

       $syslog
              Specifies the syslog(3) facility to use when logging (default: daemon)

       $pdiffs
              Specifies whether to support IndexFile diffs (default: true)

       $offline
              Specifies  whether  to deliver (possibly out-of-date) cached files when they cannot be downloaded from remote repositories (default:
              false)

       $max_wait
              Specifies how many seconds an approx(8) process will wait for a concurrent download of a file  to  complete,  before  attempting  to
              download the file itself (default: 10)

       $verbose
              Specifies whether informational messages should be printed in the log (default: false)

       $debug Specifies whether debugging messages should be printed in the log (default: false)

       The other name/value pairs  are used to map distribution names to remote repositories.  For example,

              debian          http://ftp.debian.org/debian
              security        http://security.debian.org

TCP PORT NUMBER

       The  port  on  which approx(8) listens is not specified in this file, but in /etc/inetd.conf.  The default value is 9999, for compatibility
       with apt-proxy(8), but it may be changed by running the command

              dpkg-reconfigure approx
