- .SH NAME
- pthread_attr_getscope,

- \(em get and set the contentionscope attribute
- (\fBREALTIME THREADS\fP)
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <pthread.h>
- .P
- int pthread_attr_getscope(const pthread_attr_t *restrict \fIattr\fP,
- int *restrict \fIcontentionscope\fP);
- int pthread_attr_setscope(pthread_attr_t *\fIattr\fP, int \fIcontentionscope\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- \fIpthread_attr_getscope\fR()
- and
- \fIpthread_attr_setscope\fR()
- functions, respectively, shall get and set the
- .IR contentionscope
- attribute in the
- .IR attr
- object.
- .P
- The
- .IR contentionscope
- attribute may have the values PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM,
- signifying system scheduling contention scope, or
- PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS,
- signifying process scheduling contention scope. The symbols
- PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM and PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS are defined in the
- .IR <pthread.h>
- header.
- .P
- The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the
- .IR attr
- argument to
- \fIpthread_attr_getscope\fR()
- or
- \fIpthread_attr_setscope\fR()
- does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- If successful, the
- \fIpthread_attr_getscope\fR()
- and
- \fIpthread_attr_setscope\fR()
- functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be
- returned to indicate the error.
- .SH ERRORS
- The
- \fIpthread_attr_setscope\fR()
- function shall fail if:
- .TP
- .BR ENOTSUP
- An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value.
- .P
- The
- \fIpthread_attr_setscope\fR()
- function may fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EINVAL
- The value of
- .IR contentionscope
- 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_getscope\fR()
- or
- \fIpthread_attr_setscope\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.
