40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Fn pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared
224c7076 43function is used to get the process-shared setting of a read/write
5b2abdfb
A
44lock attribute object. The setting is returned via
45.Fa pshared ,
46and may be one of two values:
47.Bl -tag -width PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
48.It Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
49Any thread of any process that has access to the memory where the
50read/write lock resides can manipulate the lock.
51.It Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
52Only threads created within the same process as the thread that
53initialized the read/write lock can manipulate the lock. This is
54the default value.
55.El
56.Sh RETURN VALUES
57If successful, the
58.Fn pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared
224c7076
A
59function will return zero.
60Otherwise, an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
