<p>The <strong>pthread_mutexattr_gettype</strong>() function retrieves the <em>type</em> attribute from the mutex attributes object specified by <em>attr</em>. The mutex type attribute is used to create mutexes with different behaviors.</p>
<p>The type returned is one of <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT</strong>, <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL</strong>, <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE</strong>, <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK</strong>, or <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_OWNERTERM_NP</strong>.</p>
<p>The default mutex type (or <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT</strong>) is <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL</strong>.</p>
<br>
<h3>Mutex Types</h3>
<p>A normal mutex cannot be locked repeatedly by the owner. Attempts by a thread to relock an already held mutex, or to lock a mutex that was held by another thread when that thread terminated, cause a deadlock condition.</p>
<p>A recursive mutex can be locked repeatedly by the owner. The mutex does not become unlocked until the owner has called <strong>pthread_mutex_unlock</strong>() for each successful lock request that it has outstanding on the mutex.</p>
<p>An errorcheck mutex checks for deadlock conditions that occur when a thread relocks an already held mutex. If a thread attempts to relock a mutex that it already holds, the lock request fails with the <strong>EDEADLK</strong> error.</p>
<p>An ownerterm mutex is an i5/OS extension to the errorcheck mutex type. An ownerterm mutex checks for deadlock conditions that occur when a thread relocks an already held mutex. If a thread attempts to relock a mutex that it already holds, the lock request fails with the <strong>EDEADLK</strong> error. An ownerterm mutex also checks for deadlock conditions that occur when a thread attempts to lock a mutex that was held by another thread when that thread terminated (an orphaned mutex). If a thread attempts to lock an orphaned mutex, the lock request fails with the <strong>EOWNERTERM</strong> error.</p>

<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>attr</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) Address of the mutex attributes object</dd>
<dt><strong>type</strong></dt>
<dd>(Output) Address of the variable to receive the type attribute</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>0</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_mutexattr_gettype</strong>() was successful.</dd>
<dt><strong>value</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_mutexattr_gettype</strong>() was not successful. <em>value</em> is set to indicate the error condition.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>pthread_mutexatttr_gettype</strong>() was not successful, the error condition returned usually indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions, the value returned could indicate an error other than those listed here.</p>
<dl>
<dt><em>[EINVAL]</em></dt>
<dd><p>The value specified for the argument is not correct.</p></dd>
