This routine obtains the value of the stack address attribute of the thread attributes object specified in the attr argument and stores it in the location specified by the stackaddr argument. The specified attributes object must already be initialized when this routine is called. The stack address attribute of a thread attributes object points to the origin of the stack for a new thread. Note that the value of the stack address attribute of a particular thread attributes object does not necessarily correspond to the actual stack origin of any existing thread in your multithreaded program.
