Condition Variable Manager
##########################
Introduction
============
The condition variable manager ...
The directives provided by the condition variable manager are:
- ``pthread_condattr_init`` - Initialize a Condition Variable Attribute Set
- ``pthread_condattr_destroy`` - Destroy a Condition Variable Attribute Set
- ``pthread_condattr_setpshared`` - Set Process Shared Attribute
- ``pthread_condattr_getpshared`` - Get Process Shared Attribute
- ``pthread_cond_init`` - Initialize a Condition Variable
- ``pthread_cond_destroy`` - Destroy a Condition Variable
- ``pthread_cond_signal`` - Signal a Condition Variable
- ``pthread_cond_broadcast`` - Broadcast a Condition Variable
- ``pthread_cond_wait`` - Wait on a Condition Variable
- ``pthread_cond_timedwait`` - With with Timeout a Condition Variable

and status codes.
pthread_condattr_init - Initialize a Condition Variable Attribute Set
---------------------------------------------------------------------
.. index:: pthread_condattr_init

**NOTES:**
pthread_condattr_setpshared - Set Process Shared Attribute
----------------------------------------------------------
.. index:: pthread_condattr_setpshared
.. index:: set process shared attribute
**CALLING SEQUENCE:**

pthread_cond_init - Initialize a Condition Variable
---------------------------------------------------
.. index:: pthread_cond_init
.. index:: initialize a condition variable
**CALLING SEQUENCE:**
.. code:: c
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_cond_init(
pthread_cond_t \*cond,
const pthread_condattr_t \*attr
);
**STATUS CODES:**
*EAGAIN*
The system lacked a resource other than memory necessary to create the
initialize the condition variable object.
*ENOMEM*
Insufficient memory is available to initialize the condition variable object.
*EBUSY*
The specified condition variable has already been initialized.
*EINVAL*
The specified attribute value is invalid.
**DESCRIPTION:**
**NOTES:**
pthread_cond_destroy - Destroy a Condition Variable
---------------------------------------------------
.. index:: pthread_cond_destroy
.. index:: destroy a condition variable
**CALLING SEQUENCE:**
.. code:: c
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_cond_destroy(
pthread_cond_t \*cond
);
**STATUS CODES:**
*EINVAL*
The specified condition variable is invalid.
*EBUSY*
The specified condition variable is currently in use.
**DESCRIPTION:**
**NOTES:**
pthread_cond_signal - Signal a Condition Variable
-------------------------------------------------
.. index:: pthread_cond_signal
.. index:: signal a condition variable
**CALLING SEQUENCE:**
.. code:: c
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_cond_signal(
pthread_cond_t \*cond
);
**STATUS CODES:**
*EINVAL*
The specified condition variable is not valid.
**DESCRIPTION:**
**NOTES:**
This routine should not be invoked from a handler from an asynchronous signal
handler or an interrupt service routine.
pthread_cond_broadcast - Broadcast a Condition Variable
-------------------------------------------------------
.. index:: pthread_cond_broadcast
.. index:: broadcast a condition variable
**CALLING SEQUENCE:**
.. code:: c

*EINVAL*
The specified condition variable is not valid.
**DESCRIPTION:**
**NOTES:**
This routine should not be invoked from a handler from an asynchronous signal
handler or an interrupt service routine.
pthread_cond_wait - Wait on a Condition Variable
------------------------------------------------
.. index:: pthread_cond_wait
.. index:: wait on a condition variable
**CALLING SEQUENCE:**
.. code:: c
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_cond_wait(
pthread_cond_t \*cond,
pthread_mutex_t \*mutex
);
**STATUS CODES:**
*EINVAL*
The specified condition variable or mutex is not initialized OR different
mutexes were specified for concurrent pthread_cond_wait() and
pthread_cond_timedwait() operations on the same condition variable OR
the mutex was not owned by the current thread at the time of the call.
**DESCRIPTION:**
**NOTES:**
pthread_cond_timedwait - Wait with Timeout a Condition Variable
---------------------------------------------------------------
.. index:: pthread_cond_timedwait

*EINVAL*
The specified condition variable or mutex is not initialized OR different
mutexes were specified for concurrent pthread_cond_wait() and
pthread_cond_timedwait() operations on the same condition variable OR
the mutex was not owned by the current thread at the time of the call.
