PTHREAD_CONDATTR_GETPSHARED(3P) Programmer's ManualD_CONDATTR_GETPSHARED(3P)

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_condattr_getpshared, pthread_condattr_setpshared — get and
       set the process-shared condition variable attributes

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pthread.h>
       int pthread_condattr_getpshared(const pthread_condattr_t *restrict attr,
           int *restrict pshared);
       int pthread_condattr_setpshared(pthread_condattr_t *attr,
           int pshared);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The pthread_condattr_getpshared() function shall obtain the value of
       the process-shared attribute from the attributes object referenced by
       attr.
       The pthread_condattr_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 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. If the process-shared attribute is
       PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE, the condition variable shall only be
       operated upon by threads created within the same process as the
       thread that initialized the condition variable; if threads of
       differing processes attempt to operate on such a condition variable,
       the behavior is undefined. The default value of the attribute is
       PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.
       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the attr argument
       to pthread_condattr_getpshared() or pthread_condattr_setpshared()
       does not refer to an initialized condition variable attributes
       object.

RETURN VALUE         top

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

ERRORS         top

       The pthread_condattr_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].
       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       None.

RATIONALE         top

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

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
