PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_DELETE(3P)         BSD          PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_DELETE(3P)



NAME
     pthread_mutexattr_delete - Deletes a mutex attributes object

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread.h>

     int pthread_mutexattr_delete (attr)
     pthread_mutexattr_t *attr;

DESCRIPTION
     The pthread_mutexattr_delete function deletes a mutex attributes object,
     which allows the storage for attr to be reclaimed.

     The attr argument specifies the address of the ID of the mutex attributes
     object to be deleted.

NOTES
     This interface is based on draft 4 of the IEEE P1003.4a standard, and
     will be changed to conform to the final version.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Upon successful completion, *attr is set to an illegal value, and a value
     of 0 (zero) is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to
     indicate the error.

ERRORS
     If the pthread_mutexattr_delete function fails, errno may be set to the
     following value:

     [EINVAL]  The value specified by the attr argument is invalid.
