-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR pthread_attr_setstack ()
-function sets the stack address and stack size attributes of the
-thread attributes object referred to by
-.I attr
-to the values specified in
-.I stackaddr
-and
-.IR stacksize ,
-respectively.
-These attributes specify the location and size of the stack that should
-be used by a thread that is created using the thread attributes object
-.IR attr .
-.PP
-.I stackaddr
-should point to the lowest addressable byte of a buffer of
-.I stacksize
-bytes that was allocated by the caller.
-The pages of the allocated buffer should be both readable and writable.
-.PP
-The
-.BR pthread_attr_getstack ()
-function returns the stack address and stack size attributes of the
-thread attributes object referred to by
-.I attr
-in the buffers pointed to by
-.I stackaddr
-and
-.IR stacksize ,
-respectively.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, these functions return 0;
-on error, they return a nonzero error number.
-.SH ERRORS
-.BR pthread_attr_setstack ()
-can fail with the following error:
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-.I stacksize
-is less than
-.B PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
-(16384) bytes.
-On some systems, this error may also occur if
-.I stackaddr
-or
-.I stackaddr\~+\~stacksize
-is not suitably aligned.
-.PP
-POSIX.1 also documents an
-.B EACCES
-error if the stack area described by
-.I stackaddr
-and
-.I stacksize
-is not both readable and writable by the caller.

-.SH HISTORY

-.SH NOTES
-These functions are provided for applications that must ensure that
-a thread's stack is placed in a particular location.
-For most applications, this is not necessary,
-and the use of these functions should be avoided.
-(Use
-.BR pthread_attr_setstacksize (3)
-if an application simply requires a stack size other than the default.)
-.PP
-When an application employs
-.BR pthread_attr_setstack (),
-it takes over the responsibility of allocating the stack.
-Any guard size value that was set using
-.BR pthread_attr_setguardsize (3)
-is ignored.
-If deemed necessary,
-it is the application's responsibility to allocate a guard area
-(one or more pages protected against reading and writing)
-to handle the possibility of stack overflow.
-.PP
-The address specified in
-.I stackaddr
-should be suitably aligned:
-for full portability, align it on a page boundary
-.RI ( sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) ).
-.BR posix_memalign (3)
-may be useful for allocation.
-Probably,
-.I stacksize
-should also be a multiple of the system page size.
-.PP
-If
-.I attr
-is used to create multiple threads, then the caller must change the
-stack address attribute between calls to
-.BR pthread_create (3);
-otherwise, the threads will attempt to use the same memory area
-for their stacks, and chaos will ensue.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-See
-.BR pthread_attr_init (3).
