       After  these  attributes  have  been  set,  a  thread  can be created with the specified attributes using
       pthread_create().  Using these routines does not affect the current running thread.

       See Section2.9.4, ThreadScheduling for further  details  on  thread  scheduling  attributes  and  their
       default settings.

IEEE/The Open Group                                   2017                         PTHREAD_ATTR_GETSCOPE(3POSIX)

       The pthread_attr_getscope() and pthread_attr_setscope() functions, respectively, shall get  and  set  the
       contentionscope attribute in the attr object.

       The  contentionscope  attribute  may  have  the values PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM, signifying system scheduling
       contention scope, or PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS, signifying process scheduling contention scope.  The  symbols
       PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM and PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS are defined in the <pthread.h> header.

       The  behavior  is  undefined  if  the  value specified by the attr argument to pthread_attr_getscope() or
       pthread_attr_setscope() does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object.

       The pthread_attr_setscope() function shall fail if:

       ENOTSUP
              An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value.

       The pthread_attr_setscope() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The value of contentionscope is not valid.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

       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.

       If  an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr argument to pthread_attr_getscope() or
       pthread_attr_setscope() does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object, it is recommended that
       the function should fail and report an [EINVAL] error.

       If successful, the pthread_attr_getscope()  and  pthread_attr_setscope()  functions  shall  return  zero;
       otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
