NAME
       pthread_mutexattr_gettype - Obtains the mutex type attribute in the specified mutex attributes object.

LIBRARY
       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int   pthread_mutexattr_gettype(
			   const pthread_mutexattr_t   *attr,
			   int			       *type);

STANDARDS
       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface

PARAMETERS
       Mutex  attributes object whose mutex type attribute is obtained.  Receives the value of the mutex type attribute.  The type argument speci-
       fies the type of mutex that is created.	Valid values are:  PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL  PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT	(default)  PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE
       PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK

DESCRIPTION
       This  routine  obtains the value of the mutex type attribute in the mutex attributes object specified by the attr argument and stores it in
       the location specified by the type argument.  See the pthread_mutexattr_settype(3) routine description for  information	about  mutex  type
       attributes.

RETURN VALUES
       On successful completion, this routine returns the mutex type in the location by the type argument.

       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
