DESCRIPTION
The pthread_setattr_default_np
() function sets
the default attributes used for creation of a new
thread—that is, the attributes that are used when
pthread_create(3) is called
with a second argument that is NULL. The default attributes
are set using the attributes supplied in *attr
, a previously initialized
thread attributes object. Note the following details about
the supplied attributes object:
-
The attribute settings in the object must be valid.
-
The stack address attribute must not be set in the object.
-
Setting the stack size attribute to zero means leave the default stack size unchanged.
The pthread_getattr_default_np
() function
initializes the thread attributes object referred to by
attr
so that it
contains the default attributes used for thread creation.
ERRORS
- EINVAL
-
(
pthread_setattr_default_np
()) One of the attribute settings inattr
is invalid, or the stack address attribute is set inattr
. - ENOMEM
-
(
pthread_setattr_default_np
()) Insufficient memory.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO
These functions are nonstandard GNU extensions; hence the suffix _np (nonportable) in their names.
EXAMPLE
The program below uses pthread_getattr_default_np
() to fetch the
default thread-creation attributes and then displays various
settings from the returned thread attributes object. When
running the program, we see the following output:
$./a.out
Stack size: 8388608 Guard size: 4096 Scheduling policy: SCHED_OTHER Scheduling priority: 0 Detach state: JOINABLE Inherit scheduler: INHERIT
