A program can also setup or change the characteristics of a thread attributes object. The thread attributes object is used at thread creation time. The new thread is created with the attributes that are specified in the attributes object. After the thread has been created, the attributes object is no longer required.

pthread_attr_destroy()--Destroy a Thread Attributes Object

pthread_attr_getdetachstate()--Get Thread Attributes Object Detachstate

pthread_attr_getinheritsched()--Get Thread Attribute Object Inherit Scheduling Attributes

pthread_attr_getschedparam()--Get Thread Attributes Object Scheduling Parameters

pthread_attr_init()--Initialize a Thread Attributes Object

pthread_attr_setdetachstate()--Set Thread Attributes Object Detachstate

pthread_attr_setinheritsched()--Set Thread Attribute Inherit Scheduling Attributes

pthread_attr_setschedparam()--Set Thread Attributes Object Scheduling Parameters.

pthread_clear_exit_np()--Clear the Exit Status of a Thread

pthread_create()--Create a Thread
