PTHREAD_RWLOCKATTR_DESTROY(POSIX Programmer's ManPTHREAD_RWLOCKATTR_DESTROY(P)NAME
pthread_rwlockattr_destroy, pthread_rwlockattr_init - destroy and ini‐
tialize the read-write lock attributes object
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_rwlockattr_destroy(pthread_rwlockattr_t *attr);
int pthread_rwlockattr_init(pthread_rwlockattr_t *attr);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_rwlockattr_destroy() function shall destroy a read-write
lock attributes object. A destroyed attr attributes object can be
reinitialized using pthread_rwlockattr_init(); the results of otherwise
referencing the object after it has been destroyed are undefined. An
implementation may cause pthread_rwlockattr_destroy() to set the object
referenced by attr to an invalid value.
The pthread_rwlockattr_init() function shall initialize a read-write
lock attributes object attr with the default value for all of the
attributes defined by the implementation.
Results are undefined if pthread_rwlockattr_init() is called specifying
an already initialized attr attributes object.
After a read-write lock attributes object has been used to initialize
one or more read-write locks, any function affecting the attributes
object (including destruction) shall not affect any previously initial‐
ized read-write locks.
RETURN VALUE
If successful, the pthread_rwlockattr_destroy() and pthread_rwlock‐
attr_init() functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number
shall be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pthread_rwlockattr_destroy() function may fail if:
EINVAL The value specified by attr is invalid.
The pthread_rwlockattr_init() function shall fail if:
ENOMEM Insufficient memory exists to initialize the read-write lock
attributes object.
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
