PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE(3Linux Programmer's ManuPTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE(3)
NAME
pthread_attr_setstacksize, pthread_attr_getstacksize - set/get stack size attribute in thread attributes object
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_attr_setstacksize(pthread_attr_t *attr, size_t stacksize); int pthread_attr_getstacksize(const pthread_attr_t *attr, size_t *stacksize);
Compile and link with -pthread.
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_attr_setstacksize() function sets the stack size attribute of the thread attributes object referred to by attr to the value speci- fied in stacksize.
The stack size attribute determines the minimum size (in bytes) that will be allocated for threads created using the thread attributes object attr.
The pthread_attr_getstacksize() function returns the stack size attribute of the thread attributes object referred to by attr in the buffer pointed to by stacksize.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return 0; on error, they return a nonzero error number.
ERRORS
pthread_attr_setstacksize() can fail with the following error:
EINVAL The stack size is less than PTHREAD_STACK_MIN (16384) bytes.
On some systems, pthread_attr_setstacksize() can fail with the error EINVAL if stacksize is not a multiple of the system page size.
VERSIONS
These functions are provided by glibc since version 2.1.

NOTES
For details on the default stack size of new threads, see pthread_cre- ate(3).
A thread's stack size is fixed at the time of thread creation. Only the main thread can dynamically grow its stack.
The pthread_attr_setstack(3) function allows an application to set both the size and location of a caller-allocated stack that is to be used by a thread.
BUGS
As at glibc 2.8, if the specified stacksize is not a multiple of STACK_ALIGN (16 bytes on most architectures), it may be rounded down- ward, in violation of POSIX.1, which says that the allocated stack will be at least stacksize bytes.
EXAMPLE
See pthread_create(3).
