object
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_mutexattr_destroy(
pthread_mutexattr_t *attr );
LIBRARY
DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
dards as follows:
IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface
PARAMETERS
Mutex attributes object to be destroyed.
DESCRIPTION
This routine destroys a mutex attributes object--that is, the object
becomes uninitialized. Call this routine when your program no longer
needs the specified mutex attributes object.
After this routine is called, DECthreads may reclaim the storage used
by the mutex attributes object. Mutexes that were created using this
attributes object are not affected by the destruction of the mutex
attributes object.
The results of calling this routine are unpredictable, if the
attributes object specified in the attr argument does not exist.
RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value
indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows:
Successful completion. The value specified by attr is invalid.
ERRORS
None
