PTHREAD_ATTR_GETSCOPE(3)   POSIX Programmer's Manual  PTHREAD_ATTR_GETSCOPE(3)



PPRROOLLOOGG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.


NNAAMMEE
       pthread_attr_getscope, pthread_attr_setscope -- get and set the
       contentionscope attribute (RREEAALLTTIIMMEE TTHHRREEAADDSS)

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_attr_getscope(const pthread_attr_t *restrict _a_t_t_r,
           int *restrict _c_o_n_t_e_n_t_i_o_n_s_c_o_p_e);
       int pthread_attr_setscope(pthread_attr_t *_a_t_t_r, int _c_o_n_t_e_n_t_i_o_n_s_c_o_p_e);

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___g_e_t_s_c_o_p_e() and _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_s_c_o_p_e() functions,
       respectively, shall get and set the _c_o_n_t_e_n_t_i_o_n_s_c_o_p_e attribute in the
       _a_t_t_r object.

       The _c_o_n_t_e_n_t_i_o_n_s_c_o_p_e 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 _<_p_t_h_r_e_a_d_._h_> header.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the _a_t_t_r argument
       to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___g_e_t_s_c_o_p_e() or _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_s_c_o_p_e() does not refer to
       an initialized thread attributes object.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       If successful, the _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___g_e_t_s_c_o_p_e() and _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_s_c_o_p_e()
       functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be
       returned to indicate the error.

EERRRROORRSS
       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_s_c_o_p_e() function shall fail if:

       EENNOOTTSSUUPP
              An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported
              value.

       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_s_c_o_p_e() function may fail if:

       EEIINNVVAALL The value of _c_o_n_t_e_n_t_i_o_n_s_c_o_p_e is not valid.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [[EEIINNTTRR]].

EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS
       None.

AAPPPPLLIICCAATTIIOONN UUSSAAGGEE
       After these attributes have been set, a thread can be created with the
       specified attributes using _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_r_e_a_t_e().  Using these routines does
       not affect the current running thread.

       See _S_e_c_t_i_o_n _2_._9_._4, _T_h_r_e_a_d _S_c_h_e_d_u_l_i_n_g for further details on thread
       scheduling attributes and their default settings.

RRAATTIIOONNAALLEE
       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _a_t_t_r
       argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___g_e_t_s_c_o_p_e() or _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_s_c_o_p_e() does not
       refer to an initialized thread attributes object, it is recommended
       that the function should fail and report an [[EEIINNVVAALL]] error.

FFUUTTUURREE DDIIRREECCTTIIOONNSS
       None.
