Check whether or not the current thread is the main thread

Question

Is there any way to check whether or not the current thread is the main thread in Objective-C?

I want to do something like this.

  - (void)someMethod

Two ways. From @rano's answer,

[[NSThread currentThread] isMainThread] ? NSLog(@"MAIN THREAD") : NSLog(@"NOT MAIN THREAD");

Also,

[[NSThread mainThread] isEqual:[NSThread currentThread]] ? NSLog(@"MAIN THREAD") : NSLog(@"NOT MAIN THREAD");
