<P>Mutex attributes can be specified at mutex creation time, by

passing a mutex attribute object as second argument to
|
||
<A HREF="pthread_mutex_init.html"><B>pthread_mutex_init</B>(3)</A> .
|
||
Passing <B>NULL</B> is equivalent to passing a mutex attribute object
|
||
with all attributes set to their default values.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P><B>pthread_mutexattr_init</B> initializes the mutex attribute
|
||
object <I>attr</I> and fills it with default values for the

||
attributes.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P><B>pthread_mutexattr_destroy</B> destroys a mutex attribute
|
||
object, which must not be reused until it is reinitialized.</P>

<P><B>pthread_mutexattr_settype</B> sets the mutex type attribute in
|

<I>attr</I> to the value specified by <I>type</I>.
|

</P>

<P><B>pthread_mutexattr_gettype</B> retrieves the current value of

the mutex kind attribute in <I>attr</I> and stores it in the location
|

pointed to by <I>type</I>.

</P>

<P>The following mutex types are supported:</P>

<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><B>PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL</B> - for

lock a mutex it already owns with <A HREF="pthread_mutex_lock.html"><B>pthread_mutex_lock</B>(3)</A>

. If the mutex is of the “normal” or “fast” type,

<A HREF="pthread_mutex_lock.html"><B>pthread_mutex_lock</B>(3)</A>

simply suspends the calling thread forever. If the mutex is of the

‘‘error checking’’ type, <A HREF="pthread_mutex_lock.html"><B>pthread_mutex_lock</B>(3)</A>
|
||
returns immediately with the error code <B>EDEADLK</B>. If the mutex
|
||
is of the ‘‘recursive’’ type, the call to
|
||
<A HREF="pthread_mutex_lock.html"><B>pthread_mutex_lock</B>(3)</A>
|
||
returns immediately with a success return code. The number of times
|
||
the thread owning the mutex has locked it is recorded in the mutex.
|
||
The owning thread must call <A HREF="pthread_mutex_unlock.html"><B>pthread_mutex_unlock</B>(3)</A>
|
||
the same number of times before the mutex returns to the unlocked
|
||
state.

<P>For speed, <B>Pthreads-w32</B> never checks the thread ownership
|
||
of non-robust mutexes of type <B>PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL</B> (or
|
||
<B>PTHREAD_MUTEX_FAST_NP</B>) when performing operations on the
|
||
mutex. It is therefore possible for one thread to lock such a mutex
|
||
and another to unlock it.</P>
|
||
<P STYLE="font-weight: normal">When developing code, it is a common
|
||
precaution to substitute the error checking type, then drop in the
|
||
normal type for release if the extra performance is required.</P>
