NAME
       current_thread - General: Is a pointer to the currently running kernel thread

SYNOPSIS
       void current_thread(
	       void );

ARGUMENTS
       None

DESCRIPTION
       The current_thread routine is a pointer to the currently running kernel thread. Typically, kernel modules use this routine to reference the
       wait_result member of the thread structure pointer associated with the currently running kernel thread. A module calls current_thread after
       calls  to  assert_wait_mesg  and  thread_block.	If  the  module  needs	to  set  a  timeout,  then  it calls current_thread after calls to
       assert_wait_mesg, thread_set_timeout, and thread_block.

       The kernel can set the wait_result member to one of the following values: The result of the assert wait is a normal wakeup.  The  specified
       timeout has expired.  The wait condition was interrupted by the clear_wait routine.  The result of the assert wait is that the current ker-
       nel thread should terminate.  The current kernel thread should be restarted.

RETURN VALUES
       None
