I can't find pthread_setname_np for Unix equipment as explained in the link below

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

This function is missing on many non-glibc platforms: glibc 2.11, Mac OS X 10.5, FreeBSD 12.0, OpenBSD 6.7, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 7.1, HP-UX 11.31, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 11.0, Cygwin 1.7.x, mingw, MSVC 14.
This function has a different signature on some platforms: NetBSD 9.0. On NetBSD the second argument is interpreted as a printf format string, with the third argument as parameter.

I tested all of the equipment below, but I couldn't find the same pthread_setname_np

try link with -lpthread

try link with -lpthread

I've already tried it.

In conclusion, the same error occurs because the pthread_getname_np function itself is not defined in the system itself /usr/include/pthread.h.

After searching through various codes, I came to the conclusion that the UNIX system should make an exception like the code below.
