       const pthread_rwlockattr_t* attr,
       int* pshared );

Description:

The pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared() function gets the process-shared attribute for the read-write lock attribute object specified by attr, storing it in pshared. The possible values are:

Note: (QNX Neutrino 7.0.1 or later) If you started procnto with the -s option, set the process-shared attribute to PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED for any read-write locks that are shared between processes. For more information, see Safely sharing mutexes, barriers, and reader/writer locks between processes in the QNX Neutrino Microkernel” chapter of the System Architecture guide.

Returns:

EOK
