Standard C Library Functions     pthreadattrgetinheritsched(3C)



NAME
     pthreadattrgetinheritsched, pthreadattrsetinheritsched -
     get or set inheritsched attribute

SYNOPSIS
     cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ library... ]
     #include 

     int pthreadattrgetinheritsched(const pthreadattrt *restrict attr,
          int *restrict inheritsched);


     int pthreadattrsetinheritsched(pthreadattrt *attr, int inheritsched);


DESCRIPTION
     The     functions     pthreadattrsetinheritsched()     and
     pthreadattrgetinheritsched(),  respectively,  set  and get
     the inheritsched attribute in the attr argument.


     When the attribute objects are used by pthreadcreate(), the
     inheritsched  attribute  determines how the other scheduling
     attributes of the created thread are to be set:

     PTHREADINHERITSCHED      Specifies  that  the   scheduling
                                policy  and associated attributes
                                are  to  be  inherited  from  the
                                creating thread, and the schedul-
                                ing attributes in this attr argu-
                                ment are to be ignored.


     PTHREADEXPLICITSCHED     Specifies  that  the   scheduling
                                policy  and associated attributes
                                are to be set to the  correspond-
                                ing  values  from  this attribute
                                object.



     The        symbols         PTHREADINHERITSCHED         and
     PTHREADEXPLICITSCHED    are    defined   in   the   header
     .

RETURN VALUES
     If  successful,   the   pthreadattrsetinheritsched()   and
     pthreadattrgetinheritsched()  functions  return  0. Other-
     wise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.

Standard C Library Functions     pthreadattrgetinheritsched(3C)



     The            pthreadattrsetinheritsched()             or
     pthreadattrgetinheritsched() functions may fail if:

     EINVAL    attr or inheritsched is invalid.


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