- 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.

- .SH NAME
- pthread_barrierattr_getpshared,
- pthread_barrierattr_setpshared
- \(em get and set the process-shared attribute of the barrier
- attributes object
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <pthread.h>
- .P
- int pthread_barrierattr_getpshared(const pthread_barrierattr_t
- *restrict \fIattr\fP, int *restrict \fIpshared\fP);
- int pthread_barrierattr_setpshared(pthread_barrierattr_t *\fIattr\fP,
- int \fIpshared\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- \fIpthread_barrierattr_getpshared\fR()
- function shall obtain the value of the
- .IR process-shared
- attribute from the attributes object referenced by
- .IR attr .
- The
- \fIpthread_barrierattr_setpshared\fR()
- function shall set the
- .IR process-shared
- attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced by
- .IR attr .
- .P
- The
- .IR process-shared
- attribute is set to PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED to
- permit a barrier to be operated upon by any thread that has access to
- the memory where the barrier is allocated. See
- .IR "Section 2.9.9" ", " "Synchronization Object Copies and Alternative Mappings"
- for further requirements. The default value of the attribute
- shall be PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE. Both constants
- PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED and PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE are defined in
- .IR <pthread.h> .
- .P
- Additional attributes, their default values, and the names of the
- associated functions to get and set those attribute values are
- implementation-defined.
- .P
- The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the
- .IR attr
- argument to
- \fIpthread_barrierattr_getpshared\fR()
- or
- \fIpthread_barrierattr_setpshared\fR()
- does not refer to an initialized barrier attributes object.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- If successful, the
- \fIpthread_barrierattr_getpshared\fR()
- function shall return zero and store the value of the
- .IR process-shared
- attribute of
- .IR attr
- into the object referenced by the
- .IR pshared
- parameter. Otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate
- the error.
- .P
- If successful, the
- \fIpthread_barrierattr_setpshared\fR()
- function shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be
- returned to indicate the error.
- .SH ERRORS
- The
- \fIpthread_barrierattr_setpshared\fR()
- function may fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EINVAL
- The new value specified for the
- .IR process-shared
- attribute is not one of the legal values PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
- or PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.
- .P
- These functions shall not return an error code of
- .BR [EINTR] .
- .LP
- .IR "The following sections are informative."
- .SH EXAMPLES
- None.
- .SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
- The
- \fIpthread_barrierattr_getpshared\fR()
- and
- \fIpthread_barrierattr_setpshared\fR()
- functions are part of the Thread Process-Shared Synchronization
- option and need not be provided on all implementations.
- .SH RATIONALE
- If an implementation detects that the value specified by the
- .IR attr
- argument to
- \fIpthread_barrierattr_getpshared\fR()
- or
- \fIpthread_barrierattr_setpshared\fR()
- does not refer to an initialized barrier attributes object, it is
- recommended that the function should fail and report an
- .BR [EINVAL]
- error.
- .SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
- None.
