2.2.1 Creating an Attributes Object

To create an attributes object, you can use one of the following routines, depending on the type of object to which the attributes apply:

• pthread_attr_init for thread attributes

• pthread_condattr_init for condition variable attributes

• pthread_mutexattr_init for mutex attributes

These routines create an attributes object containing default values for the individual attributes. To modify any attribute values in an attributes object, use one of the set routines described in the following sections.

Creating an attributes object or changing the values in an attributes object does not affect the attributes of objects previously created.
