<p>The <strong>pthread_mutexattr_setpshared</strong>() function sets the current pshared attribute for the mutex attributes object. The process shared attribute indicates whether the mutex that is created using the mutex attributes object can be shared between threads in separate processes (<strong>PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED</strong>) or shared between threads within the same process (<strong>PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE</strong>).</p>
<p>Even if the mutex in storage is accessible from two separate processes, it cannot be used from both processes unless the process shared attribute is <strong>PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED</strong>.</p>
<p>The default pshared attribute for mutex attributes objects is <strong>PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE</strong>.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>attr</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) Address of the variable containing the mutex attributes object&nbsp;<a name="297035"></a></dd>
<dt><strong>pshared</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) One of <strong>PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED</strong> or <strong>PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE</strong></dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>0</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_mutexattr_setpshared</strong>() was successful.</dd>
<dt><strong>value</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_mutexattr_setpshared</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_mutexattr_setpshared</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>
