PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_INIT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_INIT(3)
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.
