- .SH NAME
- pthread_condattr_getpshared,
- pthread_condattr_setpshared
- \(em get and set the process-shared condition variable attributes
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <pthread.h>
- .P
- int pthread_condattr_getpshared(const pthread_condattr_t *restrict \fIattr\fP,
- int *restrict \fIpshared\fP);
- int pthread_condattr_setpshared(pthread_condattr_t *\fIattr\fP,
- int \fIpshared\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- \fIpthread_condattr_getpshared\fR()
- function shall obtain the value of the
- .IR process-shared
- attribute from the attributes object referenced by
- .IR attr .
- .P
- The
- \fIpthread_condattr_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 condition variable to be operated upon by any thread that
- has access to the memory where the condition variable is allocated,
- even if the condition variable is allocated in memory that is shared by
- multiple processes. See
- .IR "Section 2.9.9" ", " "Synchronization Object Copies and Alternative Mappings"
- for further requirements. The default value of the attribute
- is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.
- .P
- The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the
- .IR attr
- argument to
- \fIpthread_condattr_getpshared\fR()
- or
- \fIpthread_condattr_setpshared\fR()
- does not refer to an initialized condition variable attributes object.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- If successful, the
- \fIpthread_condattr_setpshared\fR()
- function shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be
- returned to indicate the error.
- .P
- If successful, the
- \fIpthread_condattr_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.
- .SH ERRORS
- The
- \fIpthread_condattr_setpshared\fR()
- function may fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EINVAL
- The new value specified for the attribute is outside the range of legal
- values for that attribute.
- .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"
- None.
- .SH RATIONALE
- If an implementation detects that the value specified by the
- .IR attr
- argument to
- \fIpthread_condattr_getpshared\fR()
- or
- \fIpthread_condattr_setpshared\fR()
- does not refer to an initialized condition variable attributes object,
- it is recommended that the function should fail and report an
- .BR [EINVAL]
- error.
- .SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
- None.
