PTHREAD_BARRIERATTR(3) Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_BARRIERATTR(3)

pthread_barrierattr_destroy, pthread_barrierattr_getpshared, pthread_barrierattr_init, pthread_barrierattr_setpshared — manipulate a barrier attribute object

library “libpthread”

#include <pthread.h>

int
pthread_barrierattr_destroy(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr);

int
pthread_barrierattr_getpshared(const pthread_barrierattr_t * restrict attr, int * restrict pshared);

int
pthread_barrierattr_init(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr);

int
pthread_barrierattr_setpshared(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr, int pshared);

The () function will initialize attr with default attributes. The () function will destroy attr and release any resources that may have been allocated on its behalf.

The () function will put the value of the process-shared attribute from attr into the memory area pointed to by pshared. The () function will set the process-shared attribute of attr to the value specified in pshared. The argument pshared may have one of the following values:

The barrier object it is attached to may only be accessed by threads in the same process as the one that created the object.
The barrier object it is attached to may be accessed by threads in processes other than the one that created the object.

If successful, all these functions will return zero. Otherwise, an error number will be returned to indicate the error.

None of these functions will return EINTR.

The pthread_barrierattr_destroy(), pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() and pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() functions may fail if:

[]
The value specified by attr is invalid.

The pthread_barrierattr_init() function will fail if:

[]
Insufficient memory to initialize the barrier attribute object attr.

The pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() function will fail if:

[]
The value specified in pshared is not one of the allowed values.

pthread_barrier_destroy(3), pthread_barrier_init(3), pthread_barrier_wait(3)

The implementation of barriers does not fully conform to IEEE Std 1003.2 (“POSIX.2”) because the process-shared attribute is ignored; if any value other than PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE is specified in a call to pthread_barrierattr_setpshared(), it will return EINVAL.
