PTHREAD_CONDATTR(3)     NetBSD Library Functions Manual    PTHREAD_CONDATTR(3)


NAME

     pthread_condattr_init -- condition attribute operations


LIBRARY

     POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <pthread.h>

     int
     pthread_condattr_init(pthread_condattr_t *attr);

     int
     pthread_condattr_destroy(pthread_condattr_t *attr);


DESCRIPTION

     Condition attribute objects are used to specify parameters to the
     pthread_cond_init(3) function.  The pthread_condattr_init() function ini-
     tializes a condition attribute object with the default attributes and the
     pthread_condattr_destroy() function destroys a condition attribute
     object.


RETURN VALUES

     If successful, these functions return 0.  Otherwise, an error number is
     returned to indicate the error.


ERRORS

     No errors are defined for pthread_condattr_init().

     The pthread_condattr_destroy() function may fail if:

     [EINVAL]           The value specified by attr is invalid.


SEE ALSO

     pthread_cond_init(3)


STANDARDS

     Both functions conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').


CAVEATS

     The usefulness of the functions is questionable as the NetBSD implementa-
     tion does not support any non-default attributes.  These functions do not
     conform to the IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'') revision of the stan-
     dard, which mandates two additional attributes, the clock attribute and
     the process-shared attribute.
