PROLOG

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of
       this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux  manual  page  for  details  of
       Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       pthread_barrierattr_destroy, pthread_barrierattr_init — destroy and initialize the barrier
       attributes object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_barrierattr_destroy(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr);
       int pthread_barrierattr_init(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr);

DESCRIPTION

       The pthread_barrierattr_destroy() function shall destroy a barrier  attributes  object.  A
       destroyed  attr  attributes  object can be reinitialized using pthread_barrierattr_init();
       the results of otherwise referencing the object after it has been destroyed are undefined.
       An  implementation may cause pthread_barrierattr_destroy() to set the object referenced by
       attr to an invalid value.

       The pthread_barrierattr_init() function shall initialize a barrier attributes object  attr
       with the default value for all of the attributes defined by the implementation.

       If  pthread_barrierattr_init() is called specifying an already initialized attr attributes
       object, the results are undefined.

       After a barrier attributes object has been used to initialize one or  more  barriers,  any
       function  affecting  the  attributes  object  (including destruction) shall not affect any
       previously initialized barrier.

       The  behavior  is  undefined  if  the  value   specified   by   the   attr   argument   to
       pthread_barrierattr_destroy() does not refer to an initialized barrier attributes object.

RETURN VALUE

       If  successful, the pthread_barrierattr_destroy() and pthread_barrierattr_init() functions
       shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The pthread_barrierattr_init() function shall fail if:

       ENOMEM Insufficient memory exists to initialize the barrier attributes object.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

RATIONALE

       If  an  implementation  detects  that  the  value  specified  by  the  attr  argument   to
       pthread_barrierattr_destroy()  does not refer to an initialized barrier attributes object,
       it is recommended that the function should fail and report an [EINVAL] error.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
