+ The routine sets the default type to be given to all
+ POSIX mutexes initialised after the function
+ is called. Any of the following type values
+ can be made the default type:
+
+ PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
+ PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK
+ PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE
+ PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT
+
+ Any mutex initialised with type PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT
+ will be set to the mapped type instead. Previously
+ initialised mutexes are not changed.
+
+ When set to PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT (the initial
+ value), mutexes will behave as for the
+ PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE type.
+
+ If 'oldtype' is a non-NULL pointer, the previous type is
+ returned through it.
+ To get the previous type without setting a new type,
+ use -1 as the 'newtype' value.

+ Return Values
