PTHREAD_GETATTR_DEFAULT_NP(3) | Linux Programmer's Manual | PTHREAD_GETATTR_DEFAULT_NP(3) |
NAME¶
pthread_getattr_default_np, pthread_setattr_default_np, - get or set default thread-creation attributes
SYNOPSIS¶
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <pthread.h>
int pthread_getattr_default_np(pthread_attr_t *attr); int pthread_setattr_default_np(pthread_attr_t *attr);
Compile and link with -pthread.
DESCRIPTION¶
The pthread_setattr_default_np() function sets the default attributes used for creation of a new thread—that is, the attributes that are used when pthread_create(3) is called with a second argument that is NULL. The default attributes are set using the attributes supplied in *attr, a previously initialized thread attributes object. Note the following details about the supplied attributes object:
- The attribute settings in the object must be valid.
- The stack address attribute must not be set in the object.
- Setting the stack size attribute to zero means leave the default stack size unchanged.
The pthread_getattr_default_np() function initializes the thread attributes object referred to by attr so that it contains the default attributes used for thread creation.
ERRORS¶
VERSIONS¶
These functions are available in glibc since version 2.18.
ATTRIBUTES¶
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
Interface | Attribute | Value |
pthread_getattr_default_np (), pthread_setattr_default_np () | Thread safety | MT-Safe |
CONFORMING TO¶
These functions are nonstandard GNU extensions; hence the suffix "_np" (nonportable) in their names.
EXAMPLE¶
The program below uses pthread_getattr_default_np() to fetch the default thread-creation attributes and then displays various settings from the returned thread attributes object. When running the program, we see the following output:
$ ./a.out Stack size: 8388608 Guard size: 4096 Scheduling policy: SCHED_OTHER Scheduling priority: 0 Detach state: JOINABLE Inherit scheduler: INHERIT
