Get Scope

pthread_attr_getscope(3T)

Use pthread_attr_getscope(3T) to retrieve the thread scope, which indicates whether the thread is bound or unbound.

Prototype:

int	pthread_attr_getscope(pthread_attr_t *tattr, int *scope);

#include <pthread.h>

pthread_attr_t tattr;
int scope;
int ret;

/* get scope of thread */
ret = pthread_attr_getscope(&tattr, &scope);

Return Values

pthread_attr_getscope() returns zero after completing successfully. Any other returned value indicates that an error occurred. If the following condition occurs, the function fails and returns the corresponding value.

EINVAL
