PTHREAD..._SETTYPE(3POSIX)

🎀 PROLOG 🎀

okay bestie, real talk before we even start: this page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. and the Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so if you're on Linux, go peek at the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior. or, plot twist, the interface might not even be implemented on Linux at all. 🙈

✨ NAME ✨

pthread_mutexattr_settype — set the mutex type attribute 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_mutexattr_settype(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr, int type);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like… this one's a plot point, not a whole arc. refer to pthread_mutexattr_gettype(). that's it, that's the description. go read that one, bestie, it's holding all the lore 🫶
