NAME
       pthread_attr_getinheritsched, pthread_attr_setinheritsched - get or set inheritsched attribute

SYNOPSIS
       cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ library... ]
       #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);

DESCRIPTION
       The  functions  pthread_attr_setinheritsched()  and pthread_attr_getinheritsched(), respectively, set and get the inheritsched attribute in
       the attr argument.

       When the attribute objects are used by pthread_create(), the inheritsched attribute determines how the other scheduling attributes  of  the
       created thread are to be set:

       PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED	  Specifies that the scheduling policy and associated attributes are to be inherited from the creating thread, and
				  the scheduling attributes in this attr argument are to be ignored.

       PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED	  Specifies that the scheduling policy and associated attributes are to be set to the  corresponding  values  from
				  this attribute object.

       The symbols  PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED and  PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED are defined in the header <pthread.h>.

RETURN VALUES
       If  successful,	the  pthread_attr_setinheritsched()  and pthread_attr_getinheritsched() functions return  0. Otherwise, an error number is
       returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The pthread_attr_setinheritsched() or pthread_attr_getinheritsched() functions may fail if:

       EINVAL	 attr or inheritsched 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.
