NAME         top

       pthread_condattr_init, pthread_condattr_destroy - condition
       creation attributes

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_condattr_init(pthread_condattr_t *attr); int
       pthread_condattr_destroy(pthread_condattr_t *attr);

DESCRIPTION         top

       Condition attributes can be specified at condition creation time,
       by passing a condition attribute object as second argument to
       pthread_cond_init(3).  Passing NULL is equivalent to passing a
       condition attribute object with all attributes set to their
       default values.

       The LinuxThreads implementation supports no attributes for
       conditions.  The functions on condition attributes are included
       only for compliance with the POSIX standard.

       pthread_condattr_init() initializes the condition attribute object
       attr and fills it with default values for the attributes.
       pthread_condattr_destroy() destroys a condition attribute object,
       which must not be reused until it is reinitialized.  Both
       functions do nothing in the LinuxThreads implementation.

RETURN VALUE         top

       pthread_condattr_init() and pthread_condattr_destroy() always
       return 0.

SEE ALSO         top

       pthread_cond_init(3).
