<H2><A HREF="#toc2" NAME="sect2">Description</A></H2>
<P>The <B>pthread_rwlockattr_destroy</B> function shall destroy a
read-write lock attributes object. A destroyed <I>attr</I> attributes
object can be reinitialized using <B>pthread_rwlockattr_init</B> ;
the results of otherwise referencing the object after it has been
destroyed are undefined. An implementation may cause
<B>pthread_rwlockattr_destroy</B> to set the object referenced by
<I>attr</I> to an invalid value. 
</P>
<P>The <B>pthread_rwlockattr_init</B> function shall initialize a
read-write lock attributes object <I>attr</I> with the default value
for all of the attributes defined by the implementation. 
</P>
<P>Results are undefined if <B>pthread_rwlockattr_init</B> is called
specifying an already initialized <I>attr</I> attributes object. 
</P>
<P>After a read-write lock attributes object has been used to
initialize one or more read-write locks, any function affecting the
attributes object (including destruction) shall not affect any
previously initialized read-write locks. 
</P>
<P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> defines <B>_POSIX_READER_WRITER_LOCKS</B> in
pthread.h as 200112L to indicate that the reader/writer routines are
implemented and may be used.</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Return Value</A></H2>
<P>If successful, the <B>pthread_rwlockattr_destroy</B> and
<B>pthread_rwlockattr_init</B> functions shall return zero;
otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error. 
</P>
