NAME

pthread_attr_getscope, pthread_attr_setscope - get or set contentionscope attribute  

SYNOPSIS

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

The pthread_attr_setscope() and pthread_attr_getscope() functions are used to set and get the contentionscope attribute in the attr object.

The contentionscope attribute can have the value 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 by the header <pthread.h>.  

RETURN VALUES

If successful, the pthread_attr_setscope() and pthread_attr_getscope() functions return 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.  

ERRORS

The pthread_attr_setscope(), or pthread_attr_getscope(), function may fail if:

EINVAL attr or contentionscope is invalid.

 

USAGE

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.
