92.Sh DESCRIPTION
93Thread attributes are used to specify parameters to
94.Fn pthread_create .
95One attribute object can be used in multiple calls to
96.Fn pthread_create ,
97with or without modifications between calls.
98.Pp
99The
100.Fn pthread_attr_init
101function initializes
102.Fa attr
103with all the default thread attributes.
104.Pp
105The
106.Fn pthread_attr_destroy
107function destroys
108.Fa attr .
109.Pp
110The
111.Fn pthread_attr_set*
112functions set the attribute that corresponds to each function name.
113.Pp
114The
115.Fn pthread_attr_get*
116functions copy the value of the attribute that corresponds to each function name
117to the location pointed to by the second function parameter.
118.Sh RETURN VALUES
119If successful, these functions return 0.
120Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
