.Sh DESCRIPTION
Thread attributes are used to specify parameters to
.Fn pthread_create .
One attribute object can be used in multiple calls to
.Fn pthread_create ,
with or without modifications between calls.
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_init
function initializes
.Fa attr
with all the default thread attributes.
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_destroy
function destroys
.Fa attr .
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_set*
functions set the attribute that corresponds to each function name.
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_get*
functions copy the value of the attribute that corresponds to each function name
to the location pointed to by the second function parameter.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If successful, these functions return 0.
Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn pthread_attr_init
function will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
Out of memory.
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_destroy
function will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
Invalid value for
.Fa attr .
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_setstacksize
and
.Fn pthread_attr_setstack
functions will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
.Fa stacksize
is less than
.Dv PTHREAD_STACK_MIN .
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_setguardsize
and
.Fn pthread_attr_getguardsize
functions will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
Invalid value for
.Fa guardsize .
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_setdetachstate
function will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
Invalid value for
.Fa detachstate .
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_setinheritsched
function will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
Invalid value for
.Fa inheritsched
or uninitialized
.Fa attr .
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_setschedparam
function will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
Invalid value for
.Fa attr .
.It Bq Er ENOTSUP
Invalid value for
.Fa param .
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_setschedpolicy
function will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
Invalid value for
.Fa policy
or uninitialized
.Fa attr .
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_attr_setscope
function will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
Invalid value for
.Fa attr .
.It Bq Er ENOTSUP
Invalid or unsupported value for
.Fa contentionscope .
