The ps command can do this. Try ps -eLF the output of which you can filter with grep for the process(es) you are interested in.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

@Rubberman
Ps -eLF does not display the "Thread name", There are multiple threads created by a process.
How to distinguish between them??

Threads have no names other than the process that spawned them. You can use the tid (thread id), but you really should read the threads manpage - there is a lot you need to understand about posix threads and how they are implemented in Linux before you go any further.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "list all threads".
If you want to know how many threads a given process has, you can check the /proc/PID/task directory. This directory contains a directory for every thread in the process. These directories are named by the thread ID.
