.SH DESCRIPTION
23
.LP
24
The \fIpthread_attr_getscope\fP() and \fIpthread_attr_setscope\fP()
25
functions, respectively, shall get and set the
26
\fIcontentionscope\fP attribute in the \fIattr\fP object.
27
.LP
28
The \fIcontentionscope\fP attribute may have the values PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM,
29
signifying system scheduling contention scope, or
30
PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS, signifying process scheduling contention scope.
31
The symbols PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM and PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS
32
are defined in the \fI<pthread.h>\fP header.
33
.SH RETURN VALUE
34
.LP
35
If successful, the \fIpthread_attr_getscope\fP() and \fIpthread_attr_setscope\fP()
36
functions shall return zero; otherwise, an
37
error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
38
.SH ERRORS
39
.LP
40
The \fIpthread_attr_setscope\fP() function may fail if:
