# initiallyInactive

The newly created queue is inactive.

## Declaration

```swift
static let initiallyInactive: DispatchQueue.Attributes
```

## Discussion

Discussion Normally, a newly created queue schedules submitted blocks for execution immediately. Use this attribute to prevent the queue from scheduling blocks until you call its activate() method.
