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.
NAME
       pthread_attr_getinheritsched, pthread_attr_setinheritsched  -  get  and
       set the inheritsched attribute (REALTIME THREADS)
SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>
       int pthread_attr_getinheritsched(const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr,
              int *restrict inheritsched);
       int pthread_attr_setinheritsched(pthread_attr_t *attr,
              int inheritsched);

DESCRIPTION
       The  pthread_attr_getinheritsched(), and pthread_attr_setinheritsched()
       functions, respectively, shall get and set the  inheritsched  attribute
       in the attr argument.
       When  the  attributes  objects are used by pthread_create(), the inher-
       itsched attribute determines how the other scheduling attributes of the
       created thread shall be set.
       PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED
              Specifies  that the thread scheduling attributes shall be inher-
              ited from the creating thread, and the scheduling attributes  in
              this attr argument shall be ignored.
       PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED
              Specifies  that the thread scheduling attributes shall be set to
              the corresponding values from this attributes object.

       The  symbols  PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED  and   PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED   are
       defined in the <pthread.h> header.
       The    following    thread    scheduling    attributes    defined    by
       IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 are affected by the inheritsched attribute: sched-
       uling  policy  ( schedpolicy), scheduling parameters ( schedparam), and
       scheduling contention scope ( contentionscope).
RETURN VALUE
       If successful, the pthread_attr_getinheritsched() and pthread_attr_set-
       inheritsched()  functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number
       shall be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
       The pthread_attr_setinheritsched() function may fail if:
       EINVAL The value of inheritsched is not valid.
       ENOTSUP
              An attempt was made to  set  the  attribute  to  an  unsupported
              value.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
       The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
       None.
APPLICATION USAGE
       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.
RATIONALE
       None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
