Are tid and tgid always the same as pid in the output of ps?
In manpage of ps
tid TID the unique number representing a dispatchable
entity (alias lwp, spid). This value may also
appear as: a process ID (pid); a process group
ID (pgrp); a session ID for the session leader
(sid); a thread group ID for the thread group
leader (tgid); and a tty process group ID for
the process group leader (tpgid).
tgid TGID a number representing the thread group to which
a task belongs (alias pid). It is the process
ID of the thread group leader.
In Ubuntu, tid and tgid seem always the same as pid, for both user processes, and kernel threads (I run ps -o pid,tid,tgid,cmd) Is it true in Linux, and why?
Is it true in other Unix such as System V or BSD?
Thanks.

You need to task ps to show thread information; otherwise it only lists processes:
ps -eL -o pid,tid,comm | awk '$1 != $2'
will show all the threads, apart from each process’ main thread, i.e. entries in the process table where pid and tid are different. The significant option is -L: without that, ps will only list entries where pid and tid are identical.
On FreeBSD, the equivalent option is -H. I haven’t checked other BSDs, or System V.

@Tim: Linux ps doesn't use a dash, but the actual FreeBSD ps accepts both kinds (because it doesn't have to distinguish: all options in FreeBSD ps are "BSD style" options) and the manual page actually documents them with a dash.
