PTHREAD_RWLOCKATTR_SETPSHARED(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual
NAME pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared - set the process shared attribute
LIBRARY POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)
SYNOPSIS #include <pthread.h>
int pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared(pthread_rwlockattr_t *attr, int pshared);
DESCRIPTION The pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() function sets the process shared attribute of attr to the value referenced by pshared. The pshared argument may be one of two values:
PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED Any thread of any process that has access to the memory where the read/write lock resides can manipulate the lock.
PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE Only threads created within the same process as the thread that initialized the read/write lock can manipulate the lock. This is the default value.
RETURN VALUES If successful, the pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() function will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS The pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() function will fail if:
[EINVAL] The value specified by attr or pshared is invalid.
