NAME
pthread_attr_getscope, pthread_attr_setscope - get and set the
contentionscope attribute (REALTIME THREADS)
SYNOPSIS
#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_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.
RETURN VALUE
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
The pthread_attr_setscope() function may fail if:
EINVAL The value of contentionscope is not valid.
ENOTSUP
An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported
value.
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION 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.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
