PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_INIT(3) Linux Programmer's ManualPTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_INIT(3)

NAME top

       pthread_mutexattr_init,  pthread_mutexattr_destroy  -  initialize and
       destroy a mutex attributes object

SYNOPSIS top

       #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 top

       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 top

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

CONFORMING TO top

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

NOTES top

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