+@Theglibc{} provides non-standard API functions to set and get the default
+attributes used in the creation of threads in a process.
+
+@deftypefun int pthread_getattr_default_np (pthread_attr_t *@var{attr})
+Get the default attribute values and set @var{attr} to match. This
+function returns @math{0} on success and a non-zero error code on
+failure.

+@deftypefun int pthread_getattr_default_np (pthread_attr_t *@var{attr})
+Set the default attribute values to match the values in @var{attr}. The
+function returns @math{0} on success and a non-zero error code on failure.
+The following error codes are defined for this function:
+
+@table @code
+@item EINVAL
+At least one of the values in @var{attr} does not qualify as valid for the
+attributes or the stack address is set in the attribute.
+@item ENOMEM
+The system does not have sufficient memory.
