NAME
       pthread_condattr_destroy, pthread_condattr_init - destroy and initialize the condition variable attributes object

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_condattr_destroy(pthread_condattr_t *attr);
       int pthread_condattr_init(pthread_condattr_t *attr);

DESCRIPTION
       The pthread_condattr_destroy() function shall destroy a condition variable attributes object; the object becomes, in effect, uninitialized.
       An implementation may cause pthread_condattr_destroy() to set the object  referenced  by  attr  to  an  invalid	value.	A  destroyed  attr
       attributes  object  can	be  reinitialized using pthread_condattr_init(); the results of otherwise referencing the object after it has been
       destroyed are undefined.

       The pthread_condattr_init() function shall initialize a condition variable attributes object attr with the default value  for  all  of  the
       attributes defined by the implementation.

       Results are undefined if pthread_condattr_init() is called specifying an already initialized attr attributes object.

       After  a  condition  variable  attributes  object  has  been used to initialize one or more condition variables, any function affecting the
       attributes object (including destruction) shall not affect any previously initialized condition variables.

       This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 requires two attributes, the clock attribute and the process-shared attribute.

       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_condattr_destroy() and pthread_condattr_init() functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be
       returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The pthread_condattr_destroy() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The value specified by attr is invalid.

       The pthread_condattr_init() function shall fail if:

       ENOMEM Insufficient memory exists to initialize the condition variable attributes object.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       None.

RATIONALE
       See pthread_attr_init() and pthread_mutex_init() .

       A process-shared attribute has been defined for condition variables for the same reason it has been defined for mutexes.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
