<P>Condition attributes can be specified at condition creation time,
by passing a condition attribute object as second argument to
<A HREF="pthread_cond_init.html"><B>pthread_cond_init</B>(3)</A> .
Passing <B>NULL</B> is equivalent to passing a condition attribute
object with all attributes set to their default values. 
</P>
<P><B>pthread_condattr_init</B> initializes the condition attribute
object <I>attr</I> and fills it with default values for the
attributes. <B>pthread_condattr_destroy</B> destroys a condition
attribute object, which must not be reused until it is reinitialized.</P>
<P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> defines _<B>POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED</B> in
pthread.h as -1 to indicate that the attribute routines are
implemented but that the process shared attribute is not supported.</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Return Value</A></H2>
<P>All condition variable functions return 0 on success and a
non-zero error code on error.</P>
