It depends on the skin you are using,
- for posix skin, it is pthread_self()
- for native skin, it is rt_task_self()
- for vxworks skin, it is taskIdSelf()

The task Id of a new task is also returned by the task creation
services:
- pthread_create for the posix skin,
- rt_task_create for the native skin,
- taskSpawn for the vxworks skin.
When using taskInit with the vxworks skin, the task ID is the address of
the tcb passed as first argument.
