PTHREAD_BARRIERATTR_GETPSHARED(P)			     POSIX Programmer's Manual				 PTHREAD_BARRIERATTR_GETPSHARED(P)

NAME
pthread_barrierattr_getpshared, pthread_barrierattr_setpshared - get and set the process-shared attribute of the barrier attributes object (ADVANCED REALTIME THREADS) SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h> int pthread_barrierattr_getpshared(const pthread_barrierattr_t * restrict attr, int *restrict pshared); int pthread_barrierattr_setpshared(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr, int pshared); DESCRIPTION
The pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() function shall obtain the value of the process-shared attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr. The pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() function shall set the process-shared attribute in an initialized attributes object refer- enced by attr. The process-shared attribute is set to PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED to permit a barrier to be operated upon by any thread that has access to the memory where the barrier is allocated. If the process-shared attribute is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE, the barrier shall only be operated upon by threads created within the same process as the thread that initialized the barrier; if threads of different processes attempt to operate on such a barrier, the behavior is undefined. The default value of the attribute shall be PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE. Both constants PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED and PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE are defined in <pthread.h>. Additional attributes, their default values, and the names of the associated functions to get and set those attribute values are implemen- tation-defined. RETURN VALUE
If successful, the pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() function shall return zero and store the value of the process-shared attribute of attr into the object referenced by the pshared parameter. Otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error. If successful, the pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() function shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error. ERRORS
These functions may fail if: EINVAL The value specified by attr is invalid. The pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() function may fail if: EINVAL The new value specified for the process-shared attribute is not one of the legal values PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED or PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE. These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR]. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
The pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() and pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() functions are part of the Barriers option and need not be pro- vided on all implementations. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None. SEE ALSO
