+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This function makes a robust mutex consistent if it is in an inconsistent
+state.
+A mutex can be left in an inconsistent state if its owner terminates
+while holding the mutex, in which case the next owner who acquires the
+mutex will succeed and be notified by a return value of
+.B EOWNERDEAD
+from a call to
+.BR pthread_mutex_lock ().
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.IR pthread_mutex_consistent ()
+returns 0.
+Otherwise,
+it returns a positive error number to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The mutex is either not robust or is not in an inconsistent state.
+.SH STANDARDS
+POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+glibc 2.12.
+POSIX.1-2008.
+.PP
+Before the addition of
+.BR pthread_mutex_consistent ()
+to POSIX,
+glibc defined the following equivalent nonstandard function if
+.B _GNU_SOURCE
+was defined:
+.PP
+.nf
+.B [[deprecated]]
+.BI "int pthread_mutex_consistent_np(const pthread_mutex_t *" mutex );
+.fi
+.PP
+This GNU-specific API, which first appeared in glibc 2.4,
+is nowadays obsolete and should not be used in new programs;
+since glibc 2.34 it has been marked as deprecated.
+.SH NOTES
+.BR pthread_mutex_consistent ()
+simply informs the implementation that the state (shared data)
+guarded by the mutex has been restored to a consistent state and that
+normal operations can now be performed with the mutex.
+It is the application's responsibility to ensure that the
+shared data has been restored to a consistent state before calling
+.BR pthread_mutex_consistent ().
