PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_GETPSHARED
Section: POSIX Programmer's Manual (3P) Updated: 2003 Index
Return to Main Contents
PROLOG
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
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 *
restrict attr, int *restrict pshared);
int pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr,
int pshared);
DESCRIPTION
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.
RETURN VALUE
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
The pthread_mutexattr_getpshared() and pthread_mutexattr_setpshared()
functions may fail if:
- EINVAL
-
The value specified by attr is invalid.
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].
