PTHREAD_ATTR_GETSTACKSIZE(3POSIX Programmer's ManPTHREAD_ATTR_GETSTACKSIZE(3P)PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
pthread_attr_getstacksize, pthread_attr_setstacksize — get and set the
stacksize attribute
SYNOPSIS
#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);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_attr_getstacksize() and pthread_attr_setstacksize() func‐
tions, 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.
The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the attr argument
to pthread_attr_getstacksize() or pthread_attr_setstacksize() does not
refer to an initialized thread attributes object.
RETURN VALUE
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.
ERRORS
The pthread_attr_setstacksize() function shall fail if:
EINVAL The value of stacksize is less than {PTHREAD_STACK_MIN} or
exceeds a system-imposed limit.
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr argu‐
ment to pthread_attr_getstacksize() or pthread_attr_setstacksize() does
not refer to an initialized thread attributes object, it is recommended
that the function should fail and report an [EINVAL] error.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
