NAME

6       pthread_mutexattr_init,  pthread_mutexattr_destroy - initialize and de‐
7       stroy a mutex attributes object
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <pthread.h>
11
12       int pthread_mutexattr_init(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr);
13       int pthread_mutexattr_destroy(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr);
14
15       Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION

18       The pthread_mutexattr_init() function initializes the mutex  attributes
19       object  pointed  to  by attr with default values for all attributes de‐
20       fined by the implementation.
21
22       The results of initializing an already initialized mutex attributes ob‐
23       ject are undefined.
24
25       The pthread_mutexattr_destroy() function destroys a mutex attribute ob‐
26       ject (making it uninitialized).  Once a  mutex  attributes  object  has
27       been destroyed, it can be reinitialized with pthread_mutexattr_init().
28
29       The  results of destroying an uninitialized mutex attributes object are
30       undefined.
31

RETURN VALUE

33       On success, these functions return 0.  On error, they return a positive
34       error number.
35

CONFORMING TO

37       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
38

NOTES

40       Subsequent  changes  to  a  mutex attributes object do not affect mutex
41       that have already been initialized using that object.
