.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR pthread_attr_setstack ()
function sets the stack address and stack size attributes of the
thread attributes object referred to by
.I attr
to the values specified in
.IR stackaddr
and
.IR stacksize ,
respectively.
These attributes specify the location and size of the stack that should
be used by a thread that is created using the thread attributes object
.IR attr .
.PP
.I stackaddr
should point to the lowest addressable byte of a buffer of
.I stacksize
bytes that was allocated by the caller.
The pages of the allocated buffer should be both readable and writable.
.PP
The
.BR pthread_attr_getstack ()
function returns the stack address and stack size attributes of the
thread attributes object referred to by
.I attr
in the buffers pointed to by
.IR stackaddr
and
.IR stacksize ,
respectively.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return 0;
on error, they return a nonzero error number.
