pthread_mutexattr_getpshared, pthread_mutexattr_setpshared - get and set the process-shared attribute
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_mutexattr_getpshared(const pthread_mutexattr_t *
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. If the process-shared attribute is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE,
the mutex shall only be operated upon by threads
created within the same process as the thread that initialized the
mutex; if threads of differing processes attempt to operate on
such a mutex, the behavior is undefined. The default value of the
attribute shall be PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.
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.
The pthread_mutexattr_getpshared() and pthread_mutexattr_setpshared()
functions may fail if:
The pthread_mutexattr_setpshared() function may fail if:
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
