pthread_at...heritsched(3) Library Functions Manual pthread_at...heritsched(3) NAME pthread_attr_setinheritsched - Changes the inherit scheduling attribute of the specified thread attributes object. LIBRARY DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so) SYNOPSIS #include <pthread.h> int pthread_attr_setinheritsched( pthread_attr_t *attr, int inheritsched); STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan- dards as follows: IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface PARAMETERS Thread attributes object whose inherit scheduling attribute is to be modified. New value for the inherit scheduling attribute. Valid val- ues are as follows: The created thread inherits the scheduling policy and associated scheduling attributes of the thread calling pthread_cre- ate(3). Any scheduling attributes in the attributes object specified by the pthread_create(3) attr argument are ignored during thread cre- ation. This is the default value. The scheduling policy and associ- ated scheduling attributes of the created thread are set to the corre- sponding values from the attribute object specified by the pthread_cre- ate(3) attr argument. DESCRIPTION This routine changes the inherit scheduling attribute of the thread at- tributes object specified by the attr argument. The inherit scheduling attribute specifies whether a thread created using the specified at- tributes object inherits the scheduling attributes of the creating thread, or uses the scheduling attributes stored in the attributes ob- ject specified by the pthread_create(3) attr argument. The first thread in an application has a scheduling policy of SCHED_OTHER. See the pthread_attr_setschedparam(3) and pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(3) routines for more information on valid priority values and valid scheduling policy values, respectively. Inheriting scheduling attributes (instead of using the scheduling at- tributes stored in the attributes object) is useful when a thread is creating several helper threads--that is, threads that are intended to work closely with the creating thread to cooperatively solve the same problem. For example, inherited scheduling attributes ensure that helper threads created in a sort routine execute with the same priority as the calling thread. RETURN VALUES If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value in- dicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows: Successful completion. One or both of the values specified by inherit and attr are invalid. An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value.
