.SH NAME
pthread_attr_getinheritsched, pthread_attr_setinheritsched \- get and
set the inheritsched attribute (\fBREALTIME
THREADS\fP)
.SH SYNOPSIS

\fB#include <pthread.h>
.br
.sp
int pthread_attr_getinheritsched(const pthread_attr_t *restrict\fP
\fIattr\fP\fB,
.br
\ \ \ \ \ \  int *restrict\fP \fIinheritsched\fP\fB);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIpthread_attr_getinheritsched\fP(), and \fIpthread_attr_setinheritsched\fP()
functions, respectively, shall get and set
the \fIinheritsched\fP attribute in the \fIattr\fP argument.
.LP
When the attributes objects are used by \fIpthread_create\fP(), the
\fIinheritsched\fP attribute determines how the other scheduling attributes
of the created thread shall be set.
.TP 7
PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED
.sp
Specifies that the thread scheduling attributes shall be inherited
from the creating thread, and the scheduling attributes in this
\fIattr\fP argument shall be ignored.
.TP 7
PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED
.sp
Specifies that the thread scheduling attributes shall be set to the
corresponding values from this attributes object.
.sp
.LP
The symbols PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED and PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED are defined
in the \fI<pthread.h>\fP header.
.LP
The following thread scheduling attributes defined by IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001
are affected by the \fIinheritsched\fP
attribute: scheduling policy ( \fIschedpolicy\fP), scheduling parameters
( \fIschedparam\fP), and scheduling contention scope (
\fIcontentionscope\fP).
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
If successful, the \fIpthread_attr_getinheritsched\fP() and \fIpthread_attr_setinheritsched\fP()
functions shall return zero;
otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
The \fIpthread_attr_setinheritsched\fP() function may fail if:
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
The value of \fIinheritsched\fP is not valid.
.TP 7
.B ENOTSUP
An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value.
.sp
.LP
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
After these attributes have been set, a thread can be created with
the specified attributes using \fIpthread_create\fP(). Using these
routines does not affect the current running
thread.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
None.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
