130.Sh DESCRIPTION
131Thread attributes are used to specify parameters to
132.Fn pthread_create .
133One attribute object can be used in multiple calls to
134.Fn pthread_create ,
135with or without modifications between calls.
136.Pp
137The
138.Fn pthread_attr_init
139function initializes
140.Fa attr
141with all the default thread attributes.
142.Pp
143The
144.Fn pthread_attr_destroy
145function destroys
146.Fa attr .
147.Pp
148The
149.Fn pthread_attr_set*
150functions set the attribute that corresponds to each function name.
151.Pp
152The
153.Fn pthread_attr_get*
154functions copy the value of the attribute that corresponds to each function name
155to the location pointed to by the second function parameter.
156.Sh RETURN VALUES
157If successful, these functions return 0.
158Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
