pthread_condattr_init()

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_condattr_init( pthread_condattr_t* attr );

Library:

libc

Description:

The pthread_condattr_init() function initializes the attributes in the condition variable attribute object attr to default values. When attr is passed to the pthread_cond_init() function, it defines the attributes of the condition variable.

Condition variables have at least the following attributes defined:

PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
The condition variable can only be accessed by threads created within the same process as the thread that initialized the condition variable.
PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
Any thread that has access to the memory where the condition variable is allocated can access the condition variable.

For more information about these attributes, see pthread_condattr_getpshared() and pthread_condattr_setpshared().

Returns:

EOK
Success.
ENOMEM
Insufficient memory to initialize the condition variable attribute object attr.

Classification:

POSIX 1003.1 (Threads)

Safety:
Cancellation point No
Interrupt handler No
Signal handler Yes
