PTHREAD...PSHARED(3POSIX)

🌸 PTHREAD...PSHARED — the POSIX girlies' manual, 3POSIX edition 🌸

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're reading a POSIX Programmer's Manual page together and honestly? it's giving ✨essential lore✨. this one lives in section 3POSIX.

---

💖 PROLOG 💖

okay so first things first, and this is important, no cap: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. periodt.

but here's the tea 🫖 — the Linux implementation of this interface may differ. like, it might not match up. so if you're on Linux, go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior. OR — and this is the real plot twist 😭 — the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all. yeah. vibe check failed. check your system, bestie.

✨ NAME ✨

pthread_mutexattr_setpshared — set the process-shared attribute 👑

like, that's the whole name. it sets the process-shared attribute. short king behavior fr fr.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's how you summon it, copy it exactly, don't freestyle:

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr,
    int pshared);

that's attr — a pointer to a pthread_mutexattr_t — and pshared, an int. two arguments, zero drama. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this is the part where I'm supposed to explain everything and instead the manpage just says… go read the other one 😭

Refer to pthread_mutexattr_getpshared().

that's it. that's the description. it's giving "ask your sister, she knows" energy. so like, genuinely, go read pthread_mutexattr_getpshared() for the actual details. iykyk.

⭐ little recap for the girlies in the back: check your platform (POSIX ≠ Linux guaranteed 💀), the description points you at pthread_mutexattr_getpshared(), and the original standard always eats first.
