Note that you'll have to be careful in your arguments for this function:

- _np prefix is for 'nonportable' so nothing standardises it
- some oses have getname_np, freebsd has get_name_np
- linux and netbsd share the function name but not the prototype for
  setname_mp ?
- macos enforces the running thread to set its own name

(cf https://stackoverflow.com/a/7989973)

so.... this looks like a shitshow, and a pretty good reason for not
having it :)
