pthread_attr_getstackaddr

pthread_attr_getstackaddr(3)				     Library Functions Manual				      pthread_attr_getstackaddr(3)

NAME

       pthread_attr_getstackaddr - Obtains the stack address attribute of the specified thread attributes object.

LIBRARY

       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_attr_getstackaddr(
			const pthread_attr_t  *attr,
			void		      *stackaddr);

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface

PARAMETERS

       Address	of  the  thread attributes object whose stack address attribute is obtained.  Receives the value of the stack address attribute of
       the thread attributes object specified by attr.

DESCRIPTION

       This routine obtains the value of the stack address attribute of the thread attributes object specified in the attr argument and stores	it
       in  the location specified by the stackaddr argument.  The specified attributes object must already be initialized at the time this routine
       is called.

       The stack address attribute of a thread attributes object points to the origin of the stack for a new thread.

NOTES

       The value of the stack address attribute of a particular thread attributes object does not necessarily correspond to the actual stack  ori-
       gin of any existing thread in your multithreaded program.

RETURN VALUES

       If  an  error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error.  Possible return values are as follows:
       Successful completion.

ERRORS

       None
