One attribute object can be used in multiple calls to .Fn pthread_mutex_init , with or without modifications between calls. .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_init function initializes .Fa attr with all the default mutex attributes. .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_destroy function destroys .Fa attr . .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_set* functions set the attribute that corresponds to each function name. .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_get* functions copy the value of the attribute that corresponds to each function name to the location pointed to by the second function parameter. .Sh RETURN VALUES If successful, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error. .Sh ERRORS The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_init function will fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er ENOMEM Out of memory. .El .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_destroy function will fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EINVAL Invalid value for .Fa attr . .El .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling function will fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EINVAL Invalid value for .Fa attr , or invalid value for .Fa prioceiling . .El .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling function will fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EINVAL Invalid value for .Fa attr . .El .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol function will fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EINVAL Invalid value for .Fa attr , or invalid value for .Fa protocol . .El .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol function will fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EINVAL Invalid value for .Fa attr . .El .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_settype function will fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EINVAL Invalid value for .Fa attr , or invalid value for .Fa type . .El .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_gettype function will fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EINVAL Invalid value for .Fa attr . .El .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_setrobust function will fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EINVAL Invalid value for .Fa attr , or invalid value for .Fa robust . .El .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_getrobust function will fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EINVAL Invalid value for .Fa attr . .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr pthread_mutex_init 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_init and .Fn pthread_mutexattr_destroy functions conform to .St -p1003.1-96 .Pp The .Fn pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling , .Fn pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling , .Fn pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol , .Fn pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol , .Fn pthread_mutexattr_settype , and .Fn pthread_mutexattr_gettype functions conform to .St -susv2 .
