SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <pthread.h>

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared() function is used to  get
the process
     shared  setting  of a read/write lock attribute object.  The
setting is returned
 via pshared, and may be one of two values:

         PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED    Any thread of any process that
has access
                                   to   the   memory   where  the
read/write lock resides
 can manipulate the lock.

         PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE    Only  threads  created within
the same process
 as the thread  that  initialized the
                                   read/write lock can manipulate
the lock.
                                   This is the default value.
