<P>The <B>pthread_condattr_getpshared</B> function shall obtain the
30
value of the <I>process-shared</I> attribute from the attributes

object referenced by <I>attr</I>. The <B>pthread_condattr_setpshared</B>
32
function shall set the <I>process-shared</I> attribute in an
33
initialized attributes object referenced by <I>attr</I>.
35
<P>The <I>process-shared</I> attribute is set to
36
<B>PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED</B> to permit a condition variable to be
37
operated upon by any thread that has access to the memory where the
38
condition variable is allocated, even if the condition variable is
39
allocated in memory that is shared by multiple processes. If the
40
<I>process-shared</I> attribute is <B>PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE</B>,
41
the condition variable shall only be operated upon by threads created
42
within the same process as the thread that initialized the condition
43
variable; if threads of differing processes attempt to operate on
44
such a condition variable, the behavior is undefined. The default
45
value of the attribute is <B>PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE</B>.
