NAME pthread_attr_create - Creates a thread attributes object SYNOPSIS #include <pthread.h> int pthread_attr_create (pthread_attr_t *attr); PARAMETERS attr Thread attributes object created. DESCRIPTION The pthread_attr_create() routine creates a thread attributes object that is used to specify the attributes of threads when they are created. The attributes object created by this routine is only used in calls to pthread_create(). The individual attributes (internal fields) of the attributes object are set to default values. (The default values of each attribute are dis- cussed in the descriptions of the following services.) Use the following routines to change the individual attributes: o pthread_attr_setinheritsched() o pthread_attr_setprio() o pthread_attr_setsched() o pthread_attr_setstacksize() When an attributes object is used to create a thread, the values of the individual attributes determine the characteristics of the new object. Attributes objects perform in a manner similar to additional parameters. Changing individual attributes does not affect any threads that were previously created using the attributes object. RETURN VALUES If the function fails, -1 is returned and errno may be set to one of the following values: Return Error Description ___________________________________________________________ 0 Successful completion. -1 [ENOMEM] Insufficient memory exists to create the thread attributes object. -1 [EINVAL] The value specified by attr is invalid.
