PROLOG         top

       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         top

       pthread_barrierattr_getpshared, pthread_barrierattr_setpshared — get
       and set the process-shared attribute of the barrier attributes object

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pthread.h>
       int pthread_barrierattr_getpshared(const pthread_barrierattr_t
           *restrict attr, int *restrict pshared);
       int pthread_barrierattr_setpshared(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr,
           int pshared);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() function shall obtain the value
       of the process-shared attribute from the attributes object referenced
       by attr.  The pthread_barrierattr_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 barrier to be operated upon by any thread that has access to
       the memory where the barrier is allocated. If the process-shared
       attribute is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE, the barrier shall only be
       operated upon by threads created within the same process as the
       thread that initialized the barrier; if threads of different
       processes attempt to operate on such a barrier, the behavior is
       undefined. The default value of the attribute shall be
       PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE. Both constants PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED and
       PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE are defined in <pthread.h>.
       Additional attributes, their default values, and the names of the
       associated functions to get and set those attribute values are
       implementation-defined.
       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the attr argument
       to pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() or
       pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() does not refer to an initialized
       barrier attributes object.

RETURN VALUE         top

       If successful, the pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() function 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.
       If successful, the pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() function shall
       return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate
       the error.

ERRORS         top

       The pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() function may fail if:
       EINVAL The new value specified for the process-shared attribute is
              not one of the legal values PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED or
              PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.
       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       The pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() and
       pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() functions are part of the Thread
       Process-Shared Synchronization option and need not be provided on all
       implementations.

RATIONALE         top

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr
       argument to pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() or
       pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() does not refer to an initialized
       barrier attributes object, it is recommended that the function should
       fail and report an [EINVAL] error.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
