I think that is the functionality of else-if ladder. It will check the first if condition, if its false goes to next if (elif) condition, if its false next elif condition or if the condition returns true it comes out of whole if.

If all the conditions are getting false then it will execute the else part.

If you want your script to execute all the if conditions use

if ..
then

.
fi

for each checking.

pthread_condattr_destroy

PTHREAD_CONDATTR(3)					     Library Functions Manual					       PTHREAD_CONDATTR(3)

NAME

       pthread_condattr_init, pthread_condattr_destroy - condition creation attributes

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_condattr_init(pthread_condattr_t *attr);

       int pthread_condattr_destroy(pthread_condattr_t *attr);

DESCRIPTION

       Condition  attributes  can  be  specified  at  condition  creation  time,  by  passing  a  condition attribute object as second argument to
       pthread_cond_init(3).  Passing NULL is equivalent to passing a condition attribute object with all attributes set to their default values.

       The LinuxThreads implementation supports no attributes for conditions. The functions on condition attributes are included only for  compli-
       ance with the POSIX standard.

       pthread_condattr_init  initializes  the	condition attribute object attr and fills it with default values for the attributes.  pthread_con-
       dattr_destroy destroys a condition attribute object, which must not be reused until it is reinitialized. Both functions do nothing  in  the
       LinuxThreads implementation.

RETURN VALUE

       pthread_condattr_init and pthread_condattr_destroy always return 0.
