That's the thread group name. Always consult the sources when in doubt.

I'm not sure I understand. You asked "what's the 3rd main" to which the answer was "it's the thread-group name". To which you then wrote "i think it is a process name in which the thread is create is it write".

To answer the last statement, no, it's not the process name but the thread group name as mentioned in my previous post.
