## Detailed Description

Threading utility interfaces.

## Macro Definition Documentation

## SPA_TYPE_INFO_Thread

#define SPA_TYPE_INFO_Thread SPA_TYPE_INFO_POINTER_BASE "Thread"

a thread object.

This can be cast to a platform native thread, like pthread on posix systems

## SPA_TYPE_INTERFACE_ThreadUtils

#define SPA_TYPE_INTERFACE_ThreadUtils SPA_TYPE_INFO_INTERFACE_BASE "ThreadUtils"

## SPA_VERSION_THREAD_UTILS

#define SPA_VERSION_THREAD_UTILS 0

## SPA_VERSION_THREAD_UTILS_METHODS

#define SPA_VERSION_THREAD_UTILS_METHODS 0

## SPA_KEY_THREAD_NAME

#define SPA_KEY_THREAD_NAME "thread.name" /* the thread name */

## SPA_KEY_THREAD_STACK_SIZE

#define SPA_KEY_THREAD_STACK_SIZE "thread.stack-size" /* the stack size of the thread */

## SPA_KEY_THREAD_AFFINITY

#define SPA_KEY_THREAD_AFFINITY "thread.affinity" /* array of CPUs for this thread */

## SPA_KEY_THREAD_CREATOR

#define SPA_KEY_THREAD_CREATOR "thread.creator" /* platform specific thread creator function */

## SPA_KEY_THREAD_RESET_ON_FORK

#define SPA_KEY_THREAD_RESET_ON_FORK

## Function Documentation

## spa_thread_utils_create()

SPA_API_THREAD struct spa_thread * spa_thread_utils_create | ( | struct spa_thread_utils * | o,
|  | const struct spa_dict * | props,
|  | void *(* | start_routine )(void *),
|  | void * | arg )

create a new thread that runs start with arg

  spa_thread_utils_methods.create

## spa_thread_utils_join()

SPA_API_THREAD int spa_thread_utils_join | ( | struct spa_thread_utils * | o,
|  | struct spa_thread * | thread,
|  | void ** | retval )

stop and join a thread

See also
  spa_thread_utils_methods.join

## spa_thread_utils_get_rt_range()

SPA_API_THREAD int spa_thread_utils_get_rt_range | ( | struct spa_thread_utils * | o,
|  | const struct spa_dict * | props,
|  | int * | min,
|  | int * | max )

get realtime priority range for threads created with props

See also
  spa_thread_utils_methods.get_rt_range

## spa_thread_utils_acquire_rt()

SPA_API_THREAD int spa_thread_utils_acquire_rt | ( | struct spa_thread_utils * | o,
|  | struct spa_thread * | thread,
|  | int | priority )

acquire realtime priority, a priority of -1 refers to the priority configured in the realtime module

See also
  spa_thread_utils_methods.acquire_rt

## spa_thread_utils_drop_rt()

SPA_API_THREAD int spa_thread_utils_drop_rt | ( | struct spa_thread_utils * | o,
|  | struct spa_thread * | thread )

drop realtime priority
