PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_GETKIND_NP(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual
NAME pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np, pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np - mutex attribute operations (legacy)
LIBRARY POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)
SYNOPSIS #include <pthread_np.h>
int pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np(pthread_mutexattr_t attr);
int pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr, int kind);
DESCRIPTION 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.
