Parameters

threadAttributes  IntPtr

A pointer to a SecurityAttributes structure that determines whether the returned handle can be inherited by child processes.

If threadAttributes is Zero, the handle cannot be inherited.

The SecurityDescriptor member of the structure specifies a security descriptor for the new thread.

If threadAttributes is Zero, the thread gets a default security descriptor. The ACLs in the default security descriptor for a thread come from the primary token of the creator.

stackSize  IntPtr

The initial size of the stack, in bytes. The system rounds this value to the nearest page.

If this parameter is zero, the new thread uses the default size for the executable.

startAddress  IntPtr

A pointer to the application-defined function to be executed by the thread.

This pointer represents the starting address of the thread.

threadParameter  IntPtr

A pointer to a variable to be passed to the thread.

creationFlags  CreateThreadFlags

The flags that control the creation of the thread.

refThreadId  UInt32

A pointer to a variable that receives the thread identifier.

If this parameter is , the thread identifier is not returned.

Return Value

If the function fails, the return value is Zero.
