DESCRIPTION
Thread attributes are used to specify parameters to pthread_create(). One attribute object can be used in multiple calls to pthread_create(), with or without modifications between calls. The pthread_attr_init() function initializes attr with all the default thread attributes. The pthread_attr_destroy() function destroys attr. The pthread_attr_set*() functions set the attribute that corresponds to each function name. The pthread_attr_get*() functions copy the value of the attribute that corresponds to each function name to the location pointed to by the sec- ond function parameter.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
pthread_attr_init() will fail if: [ENOMEM] Out of memory. pthread_attr_destroy() will fail if: [EINVAL] Invalid value for attr. pthread_attr_setstacksize() will fail if: [EINVAL] Invalid value for attr. [EINVAL] stacksize is less than PTHREAD_STACK_MIN. [EINVAL] stacksize is not a multiple of the system page size. pthread_attr_setdetachstate() will fail if: [EINVAL] Invalid value for attr or detachstate. pthread_attr_setinheritsched() will fail if: [EINVAL] Invalid value for attr. pthread_attr_setschedparam() will fail if: [EINVAL] Invalid value for attr. [ENOTSUP] Invalid value for param. pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() will fail if: [EINVAL] Invalid value for attr. [ENOTSUP] Invalid or unsupported value for policy. pthread_attr_setscope() will fail if: [EINVAL] Invalid value for attr. [ENOTSUP] Invalid or unsupported value for contentionscope.
