PTHREAD_ATTR_GETSCOPE(3P)				     POSIX Programmer's Manual					 PTHREAD_ATTR_GETSCOPE(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

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.
