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

       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___m_u_t_e_x_a_t_t_r___g_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() function shall obtain the value of
       the _p_r_o_c_e_s_s_-_s_h_a_r_e_d attribute from the attributes object referenced by
       _a_t_t_r.

       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___m_u_t_e_x_a_t_t_r___s_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() function shall set the _p_r_o_c_e_s_s_-
       _s_h_a_r_e_d attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced by
       _a_t_t_r.

       The _p_r_o_c_e_s_s_-_s_h_a_r_e_d attribute is set to PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED to permit
       a mutex to be operated upon by any thread that has access to the memory
       where the mutex is allocated, even if the mutex is allocated in memory
       that is shared by multiple processes. If the _p_r_o_c_e_s_s_-_s_h_a_r_e_d attribute
       is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE, the mutex shall only be operated upon by
       threads created within the same process as the thread that initialized
       the mutex; if threads of differing processes attempt to operate on such
       a mutex, the behavior is undefined. The default value of the attribute
       shall be PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the _a_t_t_r argument
       to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___m_u_t_e_x_a_t_t_r___g_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() or _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___m_u_t_e_x_a_t_t_r___s_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d()
       does not refer to an initialized mutex attributes object.

       Upon successful completion, _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___m_u_t_e_x_a_t_t_r___s_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() shall return
       zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the
       error.

       Upon successful completion, _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___m_u_t_e_x_a_t_t_r___g_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() shall return
       zero and store the value of the _p_r_o_c_e_s_s_-_s_h_a_r_e_d attribute of _a_t_t_r into
       the object referenced by the _p_s_h_a_r_e_d parameter. Otherwise, an error
       number shall be returned to indicate the error.

       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___m_u_t_e_x_a_t_t_r___s_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() function may fail if:

       EEIINNVVAALL The new value specified for the attribute is outside the range
              of legal values for that attribute.

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

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _a_t_t_r
       argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___m_u_t_e_x_a_t_t_r___g_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() or
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___m_u_t_e_x_a_t_t_r___s_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() does not refer to an initialized mutex
       attributes object, it is recommended that the function should fail and
       report an [[EEIINNVVAALL]] error.
