PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       pthread_barrierattr_getpshared, pthread_barrierattr_setpshared —
       get and set the process-shared attribute of the barrier
       attributes object

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_barrierattr_getpshared(const pthread_barrierattr_t
           *restrict attr, int *restrict pshared);
       int pthread_barrierattr_setpshared(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr,
           int pshared);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() function shall obtain the
       value of the process-shared attribute from the attributes object
       referenced by attr.  The pthread_barrierattr_setpshared()
       function shall set the process-shared attribute in an initialized
       attributes object referenced by attr.

       The process-shared attribute is set to PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED to
       permit a barrier to be operated upon by any thread that has
       access to the memory where the barrier is allocated. See Section
       2.9.9, Synchronization Object Copies and Alternative Mappings for
       further requirements. The default value of the attribute shall be
       PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE. Both constants PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
       and PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE are defined in <pthread.h>.

       Additional attributes, their default values, and the names of the
       associated functions to get and set those attribute values are
       implementation-defined.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the attr
       argument to pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() or
       pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() does not refer to an initialized
       barrier attributes object.

RETURN VALUE         top

       If successful, the pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() function
       shall return zero and store the value of the process-shared
       attribute of attr into the object referenced by the pshared
       parameter. Otherwise, an error number shall be returned to
       indicate the error.

       If successful, the pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() function
       shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned
       to indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

       The pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The new value specified for the process-shared attribute
              is not one of the legal values PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED or
              PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       The pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() and
       pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() functions are part of the Thread
       Process-Shared Synchronization option and need not be provided on
       all implementations.

RATIONALE         top

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr
       argument to pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() or
       pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() does not refer to an initialized
       barrier attributes object, it is recommended that the function
       should fail and report an [EINVAL] error.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
