### Thread Attributes

A thread attributes object allows you to specify values for thread attributes other than the defaults when you create a thread with the pthread_create( ) routine. To use a thread attributes object, perform the following steps:

1. Create a thread attributes object by calling the routine pthread_attr_create( ).

2. Call the routines discussed in the following topics to set the individual attributes of the thread attributes object.

3. Create a new thread by calling the pthread_create( ) routine and specifying the identifier of the thread attributes object.

You have control over the following attributes of a new thread:

· Scheduling policy attribute

· Scheduling priority attribute

· Inherit scheduling attribute

· Stacksize attribute
