  pthread_attr_destroy()

  NAME

    pthread_attr_destroy(), pthread_attr_init() - initialize or destroy a
    thread attributes object

  SYNOPSIS

    #include 

    int pthread_attr_destroy(pthread_attr_t *attr)
    int pthread_attr_init(pthread_attr_t *attr);

  DESCRIPTION

    The pthread_attr_init(2) function initializes the thread attributes object
    referenced by attr with default values. This object is supplied to the
    pthread_create(2) function to specify the attributes of the thread when it
    is created. The same thread attributes object can be used in multiple
    calls to pthread_create().

    The pthread_attr_destroy() function destroys a thread attributes object.

    After the attributes have been set in the thread attributes object
    referenced by attr, the pthread_create(2) function can be called to create
    a new thread with the specified attributes. This function does not affect
    the current running thread.

  RETURN VALUES

    On success, both functions return 0; otherwise, they return an error
    number.

  ERRORS

    The pthread_attr_init() function can fail for this reason:

    [ENOMEM]
        Not enough memory to initialize the thread attributes object.

    This function does not return [EINTR].
