.Sh DESCRIPTION
Mutex attributes are used to specify parameters to
.Fn pthread_mutex_init .
One attribute object can be used in multiple calls to
.Fn pthread_mutex_init ,
with or without modifications between calls.
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_mutexattr_init
function initializes
.Fa attr
with all the default mutex attributes.
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_mutexattr_destroy
function destroys
.Fa attr .
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_mutexattr_set*
functions set the attribute that corresponds to each function name.
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_mutexattr_get*
functions copy the value of the attribute that corresponds to each function name
to the location pointed to by the second function parameter.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If successful, these functions return 0.
Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicacte the error.
.Sh ERRORS
.Fn pthread_mutexattr_init
will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
Out of memory.
.El
.Pp
.Fn pthread_mutexattr_destroy
will fail if:

.Pp
.Fn pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling
will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
Invalid value for
.Fa attr ,
or invalid value for

.Pp
.Fn pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling
will fail if:
