+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
+.SH NAME
+pthread_attr_getstackaddr, pthread_attr_setstackaddr \- get and set
+the stackaddr attribute
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <pthread.h>
+.br
+.sp
+\fP
+.LP
+\fBint pthread_attr_getstackaddr(const pthread_attr_t *restrict\fP
+\fIattr\fP\fB,
+.br
+\ \ \ \ \ \ void **restrict\fP \fIstackaddr\fP\fB);

+int pthread_attr_setstackaddr(pthread_attr_t *\fP\fIattr\fP\fB, void

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIpthread_attr_getstackaddr\fP() and \fIpthread_attr_setstackaddr\fP()
+functions, respectively, shall get and set the
+thread creation \fIstackaddr\fP attribute in the \fIattr\fP object.
+.LP
+The \fIstackaddr\fP attribute specifies the location of storage to
+be used for the created thread's stack. The size of the
+storage shall be at least {PTHREAD_STACK_MIN}.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, \fIpthread_attr_getstackaddr\fP() and
+\fIpthread_attr_setstackaddr\fP() shall return a value of 0;
+otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
+.LP
+The \fIpthread_attr_getstackaddr\fP() function stores the \fIstackaddr\fP
+attribute value in \fIstackaddr\fP if
+successful.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+The specification of the \fIstackaddr\fP attribute presents several
+ambiguities that make portable use of these interfaces
+impossible. The description of the single address parameter as a "stack"
+does not specify a particular relationship between the
+address and the "stack" implied by that address. For example, the
+address may be taken as the low memory address of a buffer
+intended for use as a stack, or it may be taken as the address to
+be used as the initial stack pointer register value for the new
+thread. These two are not the same except for a machine on which the
+stack grows "up" from low memory to high, and on which a
+"push" operation first stores the value in memory and then increments
+the stack pointer register. Further, on a machine where the
+stack grows "down" from high memory to low, interpretation of the
+address as the "low memory" address requires a determination
+of the intended size of the stack. IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001 has introduced
+the new interfaces \fIpthread_attr_setstack\fP() and \fIpthread_attr_getstack\fP()
+to resolve these ambiguities.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
