NAME
pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared – set the process shared attribute
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int
pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared(pthread_rwlockattr_t *attr, int pshared);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() function sets the process shared attribute of attr to the value referenced by pshared. The pshared argument may be one of two values:
- PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
-
Any thread of any process that has access to the memory where the read/write lock resides can manipulate the lock.
- PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
-
Only threads created within the same process as the thread that initialized the read/write lock can manipulate the lock. This is the default value.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, the pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() function will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() function will fail if:
- [EINVAL]
-
The value specified by attr or pshared is invalid.
