PTHREAD_ATTR_GETINHERITSCHED(3P)Programmer'sPManual_ATTR_GETINHERITSCHED(3P)
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.
pthread_attr_getinheritsched, pthread_attr_setinheritsched — get and set the inheritsched attribute (REALTIME THREADS)
#include <pthread.h> int pthread_attr_getinheritsched(const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr, int *restrict inheritsched); int pthread_attr_setinheritsched(pthread_attr_t *attr, int inheritsched);
The pthread_attr_getinheritsched() and pthread_attr_setinheritsched() functions, respectively, shall get and set the inheritsched attribute in the attr argument. When the attributes objects are used by pthread_create(), the inheritsched attribute determines how the other scheduling attributes of the created thread shall be set. The supported values of inheritsched shall be: PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED Specifies that the thread scheduling attributes shall be inherited from the creating thread, and the scheduling attributes in this attr argument shall be ignored. PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED Specifies that the thread scheduling attributes shall be set to the corresponding values from this attributes object. The symbols PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED and PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED are defined in the <pthread.h> header. The following thread scheduling attributes defined by POSIX.1‐2008 are affected by the inheritsched attribute: scheduling policy (schedpolicy), scheduling parameters (schedparam), and scheduling contention scope (contentionscope). The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the attr argument to pthread_attr_getinheritsched() or pthread_attr_setinheritsched() does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object.
If successful, the pthread_attr_getinheritsched() and pthread_attr_setinheritsched() functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
The pthread_attr_setinheritsched() function shall fail if: ENOTSUP An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value. The pthread_attr_setinheritsched() function may fail if: EINVAL The value of inheritsched is not valid. These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR]. The following sections are informative.
None.
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.
If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr argument to pthread_attr_getinheritsched() or pthread_attr_setinheritsched() does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object, it is recommended that the function should fail and report an [EINVAL] error.
None.
