Overview
These functions are deprecated and non-portable implementation of the mutex type manipulation.
It is recommended to use the pthread_mutexattr_gettype(3) and pthread_mutexattr_settype(3) functions instead.
Return values
The pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np() function returns a positive value representing the “kind” of the mutex attribute attr if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
The pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
Errors
The pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np() and pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np() functions will fail if:
- [EINVAL]
-
The value specified by attr is invalid.
