Description:

The pthread_condattr_init() function initializes the attributes in the condition variable attribute object attr to default values. Pass attr to pthread_cond_init() to define the attributes of the condition variable.

Condition variables have at least a process-shared attribute, whose value is one of the following:

PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
The condition variable can be accessed only by threads created within the same process as the thread that initialized the condition variable.
PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
Any thread that has access to the memory where the condition variable is allocated can access the condition variable.

The default is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE. For more information about this attribute, see pthread_condattr_getpshared() and pthread_condattr_setpshared().

Returns:

EOK
Success.
ENOMEM
Insufficient memory to initialize the condition variable attribute object attr.
