as the named suggest, prctl(2) is to control a process's attributes.
The name is a attribute to the whole process, and can not be set
individual per thread.

No, because I think you can not set the name for each thread, at most
for the process.

Anyway, I'm a little confused, in your first mail, you asked how to
set the name for a thread created with pthread_create(3), and now you
ask how you can see the changed name of a thread!
