2.2.5 Condition Variable Attributes

Currently, no attributes affecting condition variables are defined. You cannot change any attributes in the condition variable attributes object.

The pthread_condattr_init and pthread_condattr_destroy routines are provided for future expandability of the pthread interface, and to provide as much POSIX functionality as possible. These routines, in and of themselves, serve no useful function because there are no pthread_condattr_set* type routines available at this time.

Section 2.3.2 describes the purpose and uses of condition variables.
