-.SH NAME
-pthread_attr_init, pthread_attr_destroy \- initialize and destroy
-thread attributes object
-.SH LIBRARY
-POSIX threads library
-.RI ( libpthread ", " \-lpthread )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <pthread.h>
-.PP
-.BI "int pthread_attr_init(pthread_attr_t *" attr );
-.BI "int pthread_attr_destroy(pthread_attr_t *" attr );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR pthread_attr_init ()
-function initializes the thread attributes object pointed to by
-.I attr
-with default attribute values.
-After this call, individual attributes of the object can be set
-using various related functions (listed under SEE ALSO),
-and then the object can be used in one or more
-.BR pthread_create (3)
-calls that create threads.
-.PP
-Calling
-.BR pthread_attr_init ()
-on a thread attributes object that has already been initialized
-results in undefined behavior.
-.PP
-When a thread attributes object is no longer required,
-it should be destroyed using the
-.BR pthread_attr_destroy ()
-function.
-Destroying a thread attributes object has no effect
-on threads that were created using that object.
-.PP
-Once a thread attributes object has been destroyed,
-it can be reinitialized using
-.BR pthread_attr_init ().
-Any other use of a destroyed thread attributes object
-has undefined results.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, these functions return 0;
-on error, they return a nonzero error number.
-.SH ERRORS
-POSIX.1 documents an
-.B ENOMEM
-error for
-.BR pthread_attr_init ();
-on Linux these functions always succeed
-(but portable and future-proof applications should nevertheless
-handle a possible error return).
-.SH ATTRIBUTES
-For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
-.BR attributes (7).

-.SH HISTORY
-POSIX.1-2001.
-.SH NOTES
-The
-.I pthread_attr_t
-type should be treated as opaque:
-any access to the object other than via pthreads functions
-is nonportable and produces undefined results.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-The program below optionally makes use of
-.BR pthread_attr_init ()
-and various related functions to initialize a thread attributes
-object that is used to create a single thread.
-Once created, the thread uses the
-.BR pthread_getattr_np (3)
-function (a nonstandard GNU extension) to retrieve the thread's
-attributes, and then displays those attributes.
-.PP
-If the program is run with no command-line argument,
-then it passes NULL as the
-.I attr
-argument of
-.BR pthread_create (3),
-so that the thread is created with default attributes.
-Running the program on Linux/x86-32 with the NPTL threading implementation,
-we see the following:

- Stack size = 0x201000 bytes
-.EE

-.PP
-When we supply a stack size as a command-line argument,
-the program initializes a thread attributes object,
-sets various attributes in that object,
-and passes a pointer to the object in the call to
-.BR pthread_create (3).
