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_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.
