44 * ------------------------------------------------------
46 * Determine whether mutexes created with 'attr' can be
47 * shared between processes.
51 * pointer to an instance of pthread_mutexattr_t
54 * will be set to one of:
56 * PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
57 * May be shared if in shared memory
59 * PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
64 * Mutexes creatd with 'attr' can be shared between
65 * processes if pthread_mutex_t variable is allocated
66 * in memory shared by these processes.
68 * 1) pshared mutexes MUST be allocated in shared
70 * 2) The following macro is defined if shared mutexes
72 * _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
75 * 0 successfully retrieved attribute,
76 * EINVAL 'attr' is invalid,
