58.Sh DESCRIPTION
59Condition attribute objects are used to specify parameters to
60.Fn pthread_cond_init .
61.Pp
62The
63.Fn pthread_condattr_init
64function initializes a condition attribute object with the default attributes.
65.Pp
66The
67.Fn pthread_condattr_destroy
68function destroys a condition attribute object.
69.Pp
70The
71.Fn pthread_condattr_getclock
72function will put the value of the clock attribute from
73.Fa attr
74into the memory area pointed to by
75.Fa clock_id .
76The
77.Fn pthread_condattr_setclock
78function will set the clock attribute of
79.Fa attr
80to the value specified in
81.Fa clock_id .
82The clock attribute affects the interpretation of
83.Fa abstime
84in
85.Xr pthread_cond_timedwait 3
86and may be set to
87.Dv CLOCK_REALTIME
88(default)
89or
90.Dv CLOCK_MONOTONIC .
91.Pp
92The
93.Fn pthread_condattr_getpshared
94function will put the value of the process-shared attribute from
95.Fa attr
96into the memory area pointed to by
97.Fa pshared .
98The
99.Fn pthread_condattr_setpshared
100function will set the process-shared attribute of
101.Fa attr
102to the value specified in
103.Fa pshared .
104The argument
105.Fa pshared
106may have one of the following values:
107.Bl -tag -width ".Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE"
108.It Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
109The condition variable it is attached to may only be accessed by
110threads in the same process as the one that created the object.
111.It Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
112The condition variable it is attached to may be accessed by
113threads in processes other than the one that created the object.
114.El
115See
116.Xr libthr 3
117for details of the implementation of shared condition variables,
118and their limitations.
119.Sh RETURN VALUES
120If successful, these functions return 0.
121Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
122.Sh ERRORS
123The
124.Fn pthread_condattr_init
125function will fail if:
126.Bl -tag -width Er
127.It Bq Er ENOMEM
128Out of memory.
129.El
130.Pp
131The
132.Fn pthread_condattr_destroy
133function will fail if:
134.Bl -tag -width Er
135.It Bq Er EINVAL
136Invalid value for
137.Fa attr .
138.El
139.Pp
140The
141.Fn pthread_condattr_setclock
142function will fail if:
143.Bl -tag -width Er
144.It Bq Er EINVAL
145The value specified in
146.Fa clock_id
147is not one of the allowed values.
148.El
149.Pp
150The
151.Fn pthread_condattr_setpshared
152function will fail if:
153.Bl -tag -width Er
154.It Bq Er EINVAL
155The value specified in
156.Fa pshared
157is not one of the allowed values.
