NAME
       pthread_condattr_getpshared - Obtain the process-shared attribute of a condition variable attributes object.

LIBRARY
       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int   pthread_condattr_getpshared(
			     const pthread_condattr_t	  attr,
			     int			  *pshared);

PARAMETERS
       Address	of  the condition variable attributes object whose process-shared attribute is to be obtained.	Location to store the value of the
       process-shared attribute of attr.

DESCRIPTION
       This routine obtains the value of the process-shared attribute in the condition variable attributes object referenced by attr and stores it
       at the location pshared. The object referenced by attr must be initialized before this routine is called.

       Creating a condition variable whose process-shared attribute is set to PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE permits it to be operated on by threads cre-
       ated within the same process as the thread that initialized that condition variable.  If threads other than processes attempt to operate on
       such a condition variable, the behavior is undefined.

       The default value of the process-shared attribute of an initialized condition variable attributes object is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.

       Creating  a condition variable whose process-shared attribute is set to PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED permits it to be operated upon by any thread
       that has access to the memory where that condition variable is allocated, even if it is allocated in memory that is shared by multiple pro-
       cesses.

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 not a valid attributes object.

ERRORS
       None
