pthread_attr_get_np(3)
NAME
pthread_attr_get_np -- get attributes of existent thread
LIBRARY
Reentrant C Library (libc_r, -lc_r) POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread) 1:1 Threading Library (libthr, -lthr)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread_np.h> int pthread_attr_get_np(pthread_t pid, pthread_attr_t *dst);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_attr_get_np() function is used to get existent thread's attributes. Most fields of pthread_attr_t structure are exact values of attributes provided at thread creation time (as parameter to pthread_create(3) function), except for the stack address. Value returned as dst is supposed to be used in conjunction with pthread_attr_get*() functions to retrieve individual values from pthread_attr_t structure. Parameter dst should point to allocated memory area big enough to fit this structure. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to use pthread_attr_init(3) function to allocate attribute storage.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The pthread_attr_get_np() function will always return a pointer to the thread's real stack address, regardless of its value in the original attributes structure.
EXAMPLES
size_t my_thread_stack_size(pthread_t pid) { pthread_attr_t attr; size_t size; pthread_attr_init(&attr); pthread_attr_get_np(pid, &attr); pthread_attr_getstacksize(&attr, &size); pthread_attr_destroy(&attr); return(size); }
RETURN VALUES
If successful, pthread_attr_get_np() function returns 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pthread_attr_get_np() function will fail if: [EINVAL] Invalid value for one of given parameters. [ESRC] No thread could be found corresponding to that speci-
