NAME
       pthread_attr_setinheritsched,  pthread_attr_getinheritsched  -  set/get
       inherit-scheduler attribute in thread attributes object
SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>
       int pthread_attr_setinheritsched(pthread_attr_t *attr,
                                        int inheritsched);
       int pthread_attr_getinheritsched(pthread_attr_t *attr,
                                        int *inheritsched);
       Compile and link with -pthread.
DESCRIPTION
       The pthread_attr_setinheritsched() function sets the  inherit-scheduler
       attribute  of  the  thread attributes object referred to by attr to the
       value  specified  in  inheritsched.   The  inherit-scheduler  attribute
       determines  whether a thread created using the thread attributes object
       attr will inherit its scheduling attributes from the calling thread  or
       whether it will take them from attr.
       The  following scheduling attributes are affected by the inherit-sched-
       uler  attribute:  scheduling  policy  (pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(3)),
       scheduling  priority  (pthread_attr_setschedparam(3)),  and  contention
       scope (pthread_attr_setscope(3)).
       The following values may be specified in inheritsched:
       PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED
              Threads  that  are  created  using   attr   inherit   scheduling
              attributes  from  the creating thread; the scheduling attributes
              in attr are ignored.
       PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED
              Threads that  are  created  using  attr  take  their  scheduling
              attributes from the values specified by the attributes object.
       The  default setting of the inherit-scheduler attribute in a newly ini-
       tialized thread attributes object is PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED.
       The  pthread_attr_getinheritsched()   returns   the   inherit-scheduler
       attribute of the thread attributes object attr in the buffer pointed to
       by inheritsched.
RETURN VALUE
       On success, these functions return 0; on error, they return  a  nonzero
       error number.
ERRORS
       pthread_attr_setinheritsched() can fail with the following error:
       EINVAL Invalid value in inheritsched.
       POSIX.1-2001  also  documents  an  optional ENOTSUP error ("attempt was
       made  to  set   the   attribute   to   an   unsupported   value")   for
       pthread_attr_setinheritsched().
CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.1-2001.
BUGS
       As  at  glibc  2.8,  if a thread attributes object is initialized using
       pthread_attr_init(3), then the  scheduling  policy  of  the  attributes
       object  is  set to SCHED_OTHER and the scheduling priority is set to 0.
       However,  if  the  inherit-scheduler   attribute   is   then   set   to
       PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED,  then  a  thread  created  using  the attribute
       object wrongly inherits its scheduling  attributes  from  the  creating
       thread.   This  bug  does  not occur if either the scheduling policy or
       scheduling  priority  attribute  is  explicitly  set  in   the   thread
       attributes object before calling pthread_create(3).
