PTHREAD...GETSCOPE(3P)  POSIX Programmer's Manual PTHREAD...GETSCOPE(3P)

PROLOG         top

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

NAME         top

       pthread_attr_getscope, pthread_attr_setscope — get and set the
       contentionscope attribute (REALTIME THREADS)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_attr_getscope(const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr,
           int *restrict contentionscope);
       int pthread_attr_setscope(pthread_attr_t *attr, int contentionscope);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The pthread_attr_getscope() and pthread_attr_setscope()
       functions, respectively, shall get and set the contentionscope
       attribute in the attr object.

       The 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 <pthread.h> header.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the attr
       argument to pthread_attr_getscope() or pthread_attr_setscope()
       does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object.

RETURN VALUE         top

       If successful, the pthread_attr_getscope() and
       pthread_attr_setscope() functions shall return zero; otherwise,
       an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

       The pthread_attr_setscope() function shall fail if:

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

       The pthread_attr_setscope() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The value of contentionscope is not valid.

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

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

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

       See Section 2.9.4, Thread Scheduling for further details on
       thread scheduling attributes and their default settings.

RATIONALE         top

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr
       argument to pthread_attr_getscope() or pthread_attr_setscope()
       does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object, it is
       recommended that the function should fail and report an [EINVAL]
       error.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
