Win32 Thread Information Block

 

Win32 Thread Information Block

In computing, the Win32 Thread Information Block (TIB) is a data structure in Win32 on x86 that stores info about the currently running thread. While officially undocumented, many Win32 programs use it so it is effectively a part of the API.

The TIB can be accessed as an offset of segment register FS.
