💖 PROLOG 💖

okay bestie, before literally anything else: this page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. so like, the Linux version of this interface may be different (if you're on Linux, go read the Linux manual page for the tea, fr fr), or honestly the interface might not even be implemented on Linux at all. no cap. 🙈

✨ NAME ✨

pthread_mutexattr_settype — set the mutex type attribute 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_mutexattr_settype(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr, int type);

like, that's the whole vibe. two args, one int coming back. slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this one's a little shy — it literally just says: refer to pthread_mutexattr_gettype(). that's it. that's the whole description. go read the getter's page, bestie, it's got the lore. 👑
