- .SH NAME
- pthread_attr_getinheritsched,
- pthread_attr_setinheritsched
- \(em get and set the inheritsched attribute
- (\fBREALTIME THREADS\fP)
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <pthread.h>
- .P
- int pthread_attr_getinheritsched(const pthread_attr_t *restrict \fIattr\fP,
- int *restrict \fIinheritsched\fP);
- int pthread_attr_setinheritsched(pthread_attr_t *\fIattr\fP,
- int \fIinheritsched\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- \fIpthread_attr_getinheritsched\fR()
- and
- \fIpthread_attr_setinheritsched\fR()
- functions, respectively, shall get and set the
- .IR inheritsched
- attribute in the
- .IR attr
- argument.
- .P
- When the attributes objects are used by
- \fIpthread_create\fR(),
- the
- .IR inheritsched
- attribute determines how the other scheduling attributes of the created
- thread shall be set.
- .P
- The supported values of
- .IR inheritsched
- shall be:
- .IP PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED 6
- .br
- Specifies that the thread scheduling attributes shall be inherited from
- the creating thread, and the scheduling attributes in this
- .IR attr
- argument shall be ignored.
- .IP PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED 6
- .br
- Specifies that the thread scheduling attributes shall be set to the
- corresponding values from this attributes object.
- .P
- The symbols PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED and PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED are
- defined in the
- .IR <pthread.h>
- header.
- .P
- The following thread scheduling attributes defined by POSIX.1\(hy2008 are
- affected by the
- .IR inheritsched
- attribute: scheduling policy (\c
- .IR schedpolicy ),
- scheduling parameters (\c
- .IR schedparam ),
- and scheduling contention scope (\c
- .IR contentionscope ).
- .P
- The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the
- .IR attr
- argument to
- \fIpthread_attr_getinheritsched\fR()
- or
- \fIpthread_attr_setinheritsched\fR()
- does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- If successful, the
- \fIpthread_attr_getinheritsched\fR()
- and
- \fIpthread_attr_setinheritsched\fR()
- functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be
- returned to indicate the error.
- .SH ERRORS
- The
- \fIpthread_attr_setinheritsched\fR()
- function shall fail if:
- .TP
- .BR ENOTSUP
- An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value.
- .P
- The
- \fIpthread_attr_setinheritsched\fR()
- function may fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EINVAL
- The value of
- .IR inheritsched
- is not valid.
- .P
- These functions shall not return an error code of
- .BR [EINTR] .
- .LP
- .IR "The following sections are informative."
- .SH EXAMPLES
- None.
- .SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
- After these attributes have been set, a thread can be created with the
- specified attributes using
- \fIpthread_create\fR().
- Using these routines does not affect the current running thread.
- .P
- See
- .IR "Section 2.9.4" ", " "Thread Scheduling"
- for further details on thread scheduling attributes and their default
- settings.
- .SH RATIONALE
- If an implementation detects that the value specified by the
- .IR attr
- argument to
- \fIpthread_attr_getinheritsched\fR()
- or
- \fIpthread_attr_setinheritsched\fR()
- does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object, it is
- recommended that the function should fail and report an
- .BR [EINVAL]
- error.
- .SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
- None.
