68.Sh DESCRIPTION
69Mutex attributes are used to specify parameters to
70.Fn pthread_mutex_init .
71One attribute object can be used in multiple calls to
72.Fn pthread_mutex_init ,
73with or without modifications between calls.
74.Pp
75The
76.Fn pthread_mutexattr_init
77function initializes
78.Fa attr
79with all the default mutex attributes.
80.Pp
81The
82.Fn pthread_mutexattr_destroy
83function destroys
84.Fa attr .
85.Pp
86The
87.Fn pthread_mutexattr_set*
88functions set the attribute that corresponds to each function name.
89.Pp
90The
91.Fn pthread_mutexattr_get*
92functions copy the value of the attribute that corresponds to each function name
93to the location pointed to by the second function parameter.
94.Sh RETURN VALUES
95If successful, these functions return 0.
96Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
97.Sh ERRORS
98The
99.Fn pthread_mutexattr_init
