NAME

pthread_rwlockattr_init − Initialize a read-write lock attributes object

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_rwlockattr_init(
        pthread_rwlockattr_t ∗attr );

LIBRARY

DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

PARAMETERS

attrAddress of the read-write lock attributes object to be initialized. 

DESCRIPTION

This routine initializes the read-write lock attributes object referenced by attr and sets its attributes with default values. 

The results of calling this routine are undefined if attr references an already initialized read-write lock attributes object. 

After an initialized read-write lock attributes object has been used to initialize one or more read-write lock objects, any operation on that attributes object (including destruction) has no effect on those read-write lock objects. 

RETURN VALUES

If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows:

0Successful completion. 

[ENOMEM]
Insufficient memory exists to initialize the read-write lock attributes object.

ERRORS

None
