PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       pthread_mutexattr_getpshared, pthread_mutexattr_setpshared — get
       and set the process-shared attribute

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_mutexattr_getpshared(const pthread_mutexattr_t
           *restrict attr, int *restrict pshared);
       int pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr,
           int pshared);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The pthread_mutexattr_getpshared() function shall obtain the
       value of the process-shared attribute from the attributes object
       referenced by attr.

       The pthread_mutexattr_setpshared() function shall set the
       process-shared attribute in an initialized attributes object
       referenced by attr.

       The process-shared attribute is set to PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED to
       permit a mutex to be operated upon by any thread that has access
       to the memory where the mutex is allocated, even if the mutex is
       allocated in memory that is shared by multiple processes. See
       Section 2.9.9, Synchronization Object Copies and Alternative
       Mappings for further requirements. The default value of the
       attribute shall be PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the attr
       argument to pthread_mutexattr_getpshared() or
       pthread_mutexattr_setpshared() does not refer to an initialized
       mutex attributes object.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, pthread_mutexattr_setpshared() shall
       return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to
       indicate the error.

       Upon successful completion, pthread_mutexattr_getpshared() shall
       return zero and store the value of the process-shared attribute
       of attr into the object referenced by the pshared parameter.
       Otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the
       error.

ERRORS         top

       The pthread_mutexattr_setpshared() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The new value specified for the attribute is outside the
              range of legal values for that attribute.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       None.

RATIONALE         top

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr
       argument to pthread_mutexattr_getpshared() or
       pthread_mutexattr_setpshared() does not refer to an initialized
       mutex attributes object, it is recommended that the function
       should fail and report an [EINVAL] error.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
