PTHREAD_BARRIERATTR(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual
NAME
pthread_barrierattr_destroy, pthread_barrierattr_getpshared,
pthread_barrierattr_init, pthread_barrierattr_setpshared - manipulate a
barrier attribute object
LIBRARY
POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int
pthread_barrierattr_destroy(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr);
int
pthread_barrierattr_getpshared(const pthread_barrierattr_t *restrict attr,
int *restrict pshared);
int
pthread_barrierattr_init(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr);
int
pthread_barrierattr_setpshared(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr, int pshared);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_barrierattr_init() function will initialize attr with default
attributes. The pthread_barrierattr_destroy() function will destroy attr
and release any resources that may have been allocated on its behalf.
The pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() function will put the value of the
process-shared attribute from attr into the memory area pointed to by
pshared. The pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() function will set the
process-shared attribute of attr to the value specified in pshared. The
argument pshared may have one of the following values:
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.
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.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, all these functions will return zero. Otherwise, an error
number will be returned to indicate the error.
None of these functions will return EINTR.
ERRORS
The pthread_barrierattr_destroy(), pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() and
pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() functions may fail if:
[EINVAL] The value specified by attr is invalid.
The pthread_barrierattr_init() function will fail if:

HISTORY
The pthread_barrierattr_*() functions first appeared in N:M Threading
Library (libkse, -lkse) in FreeBSD 5.2, and in 1:1 Threading Library
(libthr, -lthr) in FreeBSD 5.3. Support for process-shared barriers
appeared in FreeBSD 11.0.
