pthread_mutexattr_destroy(3)
NAME
  pthread_mutexattr_destroy - Destroys the specified mutex attributes object

SYNOPSIS
  #include <pthread.h>

  int pthread_mutexattr_destroy(
	  pthread_mutexattr_t *attr );

LIBRARY
  DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

STANDARDS
  Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards
  as follows:

  IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface

PARAMETERS
  attr
      Mutex attributes object to be destroyed.

DESCRIPTION
  This routine destroys a mutex attributes object--that is, the object
  becomes uninitialized. Call this routine when your program no longer needs
  the specified mutex attributes object.

  After this routine is called, DECthreads may reclaim the storage used by
  the mutex attributes object. Mutexes that were created using this
  attributes object are not affected by the destruction of the mutex
  attributes object.

  The results of calling this routine are unpredictable, if the attributes
  object specified in the attr argument does not exist.

RETURN VALUES
  If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value
  indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows:

  0   Successful completion.

  [EINVAL]
      The value specified by attr is invalid.

ERRORS
  None
