# NAME

`pthread_condattr_init`, `pthread_condattr_getpshared`, `pthread_condattr_setpshared`, `pthread_condattr_getclock`, `pthread_condattr_setclock` —
condition attribute operations

# LIBRARY

POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <pthread.h>`

int
`pthread_condattr_init`(pthread_condattr_t *attr);

int
`pthread_condattr_getclock`(const pthread_condattr_t *__restrict attr, clockid_t * __restrict clock_id);

int
`pthread_condattr_setclock`(pthread_condattr_t *attr, clockid_t clock);

int
`pthread_condattr_destroy`(pthread_condattr_t *attr);

int
`pthread_condattr_getpshared`(const pthread_condattr_t * __restrict attr, int * __restrict pshared);

int
`pshared_condattr_setpshared`(pthread_condattr_t *attr, int pshared);

# DESCRIPTION

Condition attribute objects are used to specify parameters to the pthread_cond_init(3) function. The `pthread_condattr_init`() function initializes a condition attribute object with the default attributes and the `pthread_condattr_destroy`() function destroys a condition attribute object. The `pthread_condattr_getclock`() function shall obtain the value of the clock attributes object referenced by attr. The `pthread_condattr_setclock`() function sets the system clock to be used for time comparisons to the one specified in clock. Valid clock values are `CLOCK_MONOTONIC` and `CLOCK_REALTIME` (the default). The `pthread_condattr_getpshared`() function shall obtain the value of the process-shared attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr. The `pthread_condattr_setpshared`() function shall set the process-shared attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced by attr.

# RETURN VALUES

If successful, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.

# ERRORS

No errors are defined for `pthread_condattr_init`().

The `pthread_condattr_destroy`() function may fail if:

[`EINVAL`]
  The value specified by attr is invalid.

The `pthread_condattr_getclock`() and `pthread_condattr_setclock`() may fail if:

[`EINVAL`]
  The value specified by attr is invalid.

The `pthread_condattr_getpshared`() and `pthread_condattr_setpshared`() may fail if:

[`EINVAL`]
  The value specified by attr is invalid.

# SEE ALSO

# STANDARDS

Both functions conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”).

# BUGS

The `pthread_condattr_getpshared`() and `pthread_condattr_setpshared`() functions are hidden by default since only thread shared attributes are supported.
