41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Fn pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared
44function is used to get the process shared setting of a read/write
45lock attribute object.
46The setting is returned via
47.Fa pshared ,
48and may be one of two values:
49.Bl -tag -width PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
50.It Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
51Any thread of any process that has access to the memory where the
52read/write lock resides can manipulate the lock.
53.It Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
54Only threads created within the same process as the thread that
55initialized the read/write lock can manipulate the lock.
56This is
57the default value.
