NAME
pthread_mutexattr_init, pthread_mutexattr_destroy - initialize and
destroy a mutex attributes object
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_mutexattr_init(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr);
int pthread_mutexattr_destroy(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr);
Compile and link with -pthread.
DESCRIPTION
The
pthread_mutexattr_init()
function initializes the mutex attributes object pointed to by
attr
with default values for all attributes defined by the implementation.
The results of initializing an already initialized mutex attributes
object are undefined.
The
pthread_mutexattr_destroy()
function destroys a mutex attribute object (making it uninitialized).
Once a mutex attributes object has been destroyed, it can be reinitialized with
pthread_mutexattr_init().
The results of destroying an uninitialized mutex attributes
object are undefined.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return 0.
On error, they return a positive error number.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
NOTES
Subsequent changes to a mutex attributes object do not affect mutex that
have already been initialized using that object.
