NAME

     pthread_mutex_init - create a mutex

SYNOPSIS

     #include <pthread.h>

     int
     pthread_mutex_init(pthread_mutex_t *mutex,
             const pthread_mutexattr_t *attr);

DESCRIPTION

     The pthread_mutex_init() function creates a new mutex, with attributes
     specified with attr. If attr is NULL the default attributes are used.

RETURN VALUES

     If successful, pthread_mutex_init() will return zero and put the new mu-
     tex ID into mutex, otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate
     the error.

ERRORS

     pthread_mutex_init() will fail if:

     [EINVAL]      The value specified by attr is invalid.

     [ENOMEM]      The process cannot allocate enough memory to create another
                   mutex.
