SYNOPSIS

     #include <pthread.h>

     int
     pthread_mutexattr_init(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr);

     int
     pthread_mutexattr_destroy(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr);

     int
     pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr,
	 int prioceiling);

     int
     pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr,
	 int *prioceiling);

     int
     pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr, int protocol);

     int
     pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr, int *protocol);

     int
     pthread_mutexattr_settype(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr, int type);

     int
     pthread_mutexattr_gettype(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr, int *type);

DESCRIPTION

     Mutex attributes are used to specify parameters to pthread_mutex_init().
     One attribute object can be used in multiple calls to
     pthread_mutex_init(), with or without modifications between calls.

     The pthread_mutexattr_init() function initializes attr with all the
     default mutex attributes.

     The pthread_mutexattr_destroy() function destroys attr.

     The pthread_mutexattr_set*() functions set the attribute that corresponds
     to each function name.

     The 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.
     [ENOMEM]		Out of memory.

     The pthread_mutexattr_destroy() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		Invalid value for attr.

     The pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		Invalid value for attr, or invalid value for
			prioceiling.

     The pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		Invalid value for attr.

     The pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		Invalid value for attr, or invalid value for protocol.

     The pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		Invalid value for attr.

     The pthread_mutexattr_settype() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		Invalid value for attr, or invalid value for type.

     The pthread_mutexattr_gettype() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		Invalid value for attr.
