| <P>The <B>pthread_condattr_getpshared</B> function shall obtain the | |

| initialized attributes object referenced by <I>attr</I>. | |
| </P> | |
| <P>The <I>process-shared</I> attribute is set to | |

| operated upon by any thread that has access to the memory where the | |
| condition variable is allocated, even if the condition variable is | |
| allocated in memory that is shared by multiple processes. If the | |
| <I>process-shared</I> attribute is <B>PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE</B>, | |
| the condition variable shall only be operated upon by threads created | |
| within the same process as the thread that initialized the condition | |
| variable; if threads of differing processes attempt to operate on | |
| such a condition variable, the behavior is undefined. The default | |
| value of the attribute is <B>PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE</B>. | |
