NAME

     pthread_mutex_init - create a mutex

LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

     #include <pthread.h>

     int
     pthread_mutex_init(pthread_mutex_t *restrict mutex,
         const pthread_mutexattr_t *restrict attr);

DESCRIPTION

     The pthread_mutex_init() function creates a new mutex, with attributes
     specified with attr.  If attr is NULL the default attributes are used.

RETURN VALUES

     If successful, pthread_mutex_init() will return zero and put the new
     mutex id into mutex, otherwise an error number will be returned to
     indicate the error.

ERRORS

     The pthread_mutex_init() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]           The value specified by attr is invalid.

     [ENOMEM]           The process cannot allocate enough memory to create
                        another mutex.
