KeGetCurrentThread function (wdm.h)
The KeGetCurrentThread routine identifies the current thread.
Syntax
PKTHREAD KeGetCurrentThread();
Return value
KeGetCurrentThread returns a pointer to an opaque thread object.
Remarks
This routine is identical to PsGetCurrentThread.
A caller of KeGetCurrentThread can use the returned pointer as an input parameter to KeQueryPriorityThread, KeSetBasePriorityThread, or KeSetPriorityThread. However, the memory containing the thread object is opaque; that is, it is reserved for exclusive use by the operating system.
