.SH NAME
pthread_getattr_default_np, pthread_setattr_default_np, \-
get or set default thread-creation attributes
.SH LIBRARY
POSIX threads library
.RI ( libpthread ", " \-lpthread )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.BR "#define _GNU_SOURCE" "             /* See feature_test_macros(7) */"
.B #include <pthread.h>
.PP

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR pthread_setattr_default_np ()
function sets the default attributes used for creation of a new
thread\[em]that is, the attributes that are used when
.BR pthread_create (3)
is called with a second argument that is NULL.
The default attributes are set using the attributes supplied in
.IR *attr ,
a previously initialized thread attributes object.
Note the following details about the supplied attributes object:
.IP \[bu] 3
The attribute settings in the object must be valid.
.IP \[bu]
The
.I stack address
attribute must not be set in the object.
.IP \[bu]
Setting the
.I stack size
attribute to zero means leave the default stack size unchanged.
.PP
The
.BR pthread_getattr_default_np ()
function initializes the thread attributes object referred to by
.I attr
so that it contains the default attributes used for thread creation.
.SH ERRORS
.TP
.B EINVAL
.RB ( pthread_setattr_default_np ())
One of the attribute settings in
.I attr
is invalid, or the stack address attribute is set in
.IR attr .
.TP
.B ENOMEM
.\" Can happen (but unlikely) while trying to allocate memory for cpuset
.RB ( pthread_setattr_default_np ())
Insufficient memory.

.SH HISTORY
glibc 2.18.
.SH EXAMPLES
The program below uses
.BR pthread_getattr_default_np ()
to fetch the default thread-creation attributes and then displays
various settings from the returned thread attributes object.
When running the program, we see the following output:
