IEEE/The Open Group 2017 PTHREAD_ATTR_GETSTACKSIZE(3POSIX)
Description
The pthread_attr_getstacksize() and pthread_attr_setstacksize() functions, 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.
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].
Thefollowingsectionsareinformative.Examples
None.
Future Directions
None.
Name
pthread_attr_getstacksize, pthread_attr_setstacksize — get and set the stacksize attribute
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.
Rationale
If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr argument 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.
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.
