pthread_attr_getstacksize pthread_attr_setstacksize — get and set the stacksize attribute


#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_attr_getstacksize(const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr,
       size_t *restrict stacksize);
int pthread_attr_setstacksize(pthread_attr_t *attr, size_t stacksize);

The pthread_attr_getstacksize () and pthread_attr_setstacksize () functions, respectively, shall get and set the thread creation stacksize attribute in the attr object.

The stacksize attribute shall define the minimum stack size (in bytes) allocated for the created threads stack.

Upon successful completion, pthread_attr_getstacksize () and pthread_attr_setstacksize () shall return a value of 0; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

The pthread_attr_getstacksize () function stores the stacksize attribute value in stacksize if successful.

The pthread_attr_setstacksize () function shall fail if:

The value of stacksize is less than {PTHREAD_STACK_MIN} or exceeds a system-imposed limit.

These functions may fail if:

The value specified by attr does not refer to an initialized thread attribute object.

These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

pthread_attr_destroy(3), pthread_attr_getstackaddr(3), pthread_attr_getdetachstate(3), pthread_create(3), the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”), <limits.h>, <pthread.h>

First released in Issue 5. Included for alignment with the POSIX Threads Extension.

The pthread_attr_getstacksize () and pthread_attr_setstacksize () functions are marked as part of the Threads and Thread Stack Size Attribute options.

The keyword is added to the pthread_attr_getstacksize () prototype for alignment with the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”) standard.

IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”)/Cor 1-2002, item XSH/TC1/D6/43 is applied, correcting the margin code in the SYNOPSIS from TSA to TSS and updating the CHANGE HISTORY from ``Thread Stack Address Attribute'' option to ``Thread Stack Size Attribute'' option.

IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”)/Cor 2-2004, item XSH/TC2/D6/87 is applied, updating the ERRORS section to include optional errors for the case when attr refers to an uninitialized thread attribute object.
