.Dd August 17, 2018 .Dt PTHREAD_BARRIERATTR 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm pthread_barrierattr_destroy , pthread_barrierattr_getpshared , .Nm pthread_barrierattr_init , pthread_barrierattr_setpshared .Nd "manipulate a barrier attribute object" .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libpthread .Sh SYNOPSIS n pthread.h .Ft int .Fn pthread_barrierattr_destroy "pthread_barrierattr_t *attr" .Ft int .Fn pthread_barrierattr_getpshared "const pthread_barrierattr_t *restrict attr" "int *restrict pshared" .Ft int .Fn pthread_barrierattr_init "pthread_barrierattr_t *attr" .Ft int .Fn pthread_barrierattr_setpshared "pthread_barrierattr_t *attr" "int pshared" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn pthread_barrierattr_init function will initialize .Fa attr with default attributes. The .Fn pthread_barrierattr_destroy function will destroy .Fa attr and release any resources that may have been allocated on its behalf.

p The .Fn pthread_barrierattr_getpshared function will put the value of the process-shared attribute from .Fa attr into the memory area pointed to by .Fa pshared . The .Fn pthread_barrierattr_setpshared function will set the process-shared attribute of .Fa attr to the value specified in .Fa pshared . The argument .Fa pshared may have one of the following values: l -tag -width ".Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE" t Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE The barrier object it is attached to may only be accessed by threads in the same process as the one that created the object. t Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED The barrier object it is attached to may be accessed by threads in processes other than the one that created the object. .El .Sh RETURN VALUES If successful, all these functions will return zero. Otherwise, an error number will be returned to indicate the error.

p None of these functions will return .Er EINTR . .Sh ERRORS The .Fn pthread_barrierattr_destroy , .Fn pthread_barrierattr_getpshared and .Fn pthread_barrierattr_setpshared functions may fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINVAL The value specified by .Fa attr is invalid. .El

p The .Fn pthread_barrierattr_init function will fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er ENOMEM Insufficient memory to initialize the barrier attribute object .Fa attr . .El

p The .Fn pthread_barrierattr_setpshared function will fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINVAL The value specified in .Fa pshared is not one of the allowed values. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr pthread_barrier_destroy 3 , .Xr pthread_barrier_init 3 , .Xr pthread_barrier_wait 3 .Sh HISTORY The .Fn pthread_barrierattr_* functions first appeared in .Lb libkse in .Fx 5.2 , and in .Lb libthr in .Fx 5.3 . Support for process-shared barriers appeared in .Fx 11.0 .
