62.Sh DESCRIPTION
63Mutex attributes are used to specify parameters to
64.Fn pthread_mutex_init .
65One attribute object can be used in multiple calls to
66.Fn pthread_mutex_init ,
67with or without modifications between calls.
68.Pp
69The
70.Fn pthread_mutexattr_init
71function initializes
72.Fa attr
73with all the default mutex attributes.
74.Pp
75The
76.Fn pthread_mutexattr_destroy
77function destroys
78.Fa attr .
79.Pp
80The
81.Fn pthread_mutexattr_set*
82functions set the attribute that corresponds to each function name.
83.Pp
84The
85.Fn pthread_mutexattr_get*
86functions copy the value of the attribute that corresponds to each function name
87to the location pointed to by the second function parameter.
88.Sh RETURN VALUES
89If successful, these functions return 0.
90Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
91.Sh ERRORS
92The
93.Fn pthread_mutexattr_init
94function will fail if:
