PTHREAD_MUTEX_INIT(3) BSD Programmer's Manual PTHREAD_MUTEX_INIT(3)
pthread_mutex_init - create a mutex
#include <pthread.h>
int
pthread_mutex_init(pthread_mutex_t *mutex,
const pthread_mutexattr_t *attr);
The pthread_mutex_init() function creates a new mutex, with attributes
specified with attr. If attr is NULL the default attributes are used.
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.
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.
pthread_mutex_destroy(3), pthread_mutex_lock(3),
pthread_mutex_trylock(3), pthread_mutex_unlock(3)
pthread_mutex_init() conforms to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 ("POSIX").
