Someone's bound to reply who knows how to do this and negate my answer...
... but in short I don't know how and can't imagine why you'd want to. Any reason inparticular you're trying to do this? If the first parameter is, for example, a name you're passing to the script, it seems alot easier to me to just script name="$1" and call it a day.

NAME
pthread_condattr_getpshared(), pthread_condattr_setpshared() - get or set the process-shared attribute
SYNOPSIS
PARAMETERS
attr Pointer to the condition variable attributes object whose process-shared attribute is to be set/retrieved.
pshared This parameter either specifies the new value of the process-shared attribute (set function) or it points to the memory
location where the process-shared attribute of attr is to be returned (get function).
DESCRIPTION
The attributes object attr must have been previously initialized with the function before these functions are called.
The functions are used to set and retrieve the process-shared attribute in a condition variable attributes object. The legal values for
the process-shared attribute are:
This option permits a condition variable to be operated upon by any thread
that has access to the memory where the condition variable is allocated. The application is responsible for allocating the
condition variable in memory that multiple processes can access.
The condition variable can be operated on only by threads created within
the same process as the thread that initialized the condition variable. If threads of differing processes attempt to operate
on such condition variable, the behavior is undefined.
The default value of process-shared is
sets the process-shared attribute in attr. The new value of the process-shared attribute of attr is set to the value specified in the
pshared parameter.
retrieves the value of the process-shared attribute from attr. The value of the process-shared attribute of attr is returned in the
pshared parameter.

ERRORS
If any of the following occur, the and functions return the corresponding error number:
is not defined and these functions are not supported.
For each of the following conditions, if the condition is detected, the function returns the corresponding error number:
attr is not a valid condition variable attributes object.
The value specified by
pshared is not a legal value.
For each of the following conditions, if the condition is detected, the function returns the corresponding error number:
The value specified by
attr or pshared is invalid.
WARNINGS
If a condition variable is created with the process-shared attribute defined as the cooperating processes should have access to the memory
in which the condition variable is allocated.
