pthread_mutexattr_getrobust (const pthread_mutexattr_t * attr, int * robust)
/*
* ------------------------------------------------------
*
* DOCPUBLIC
* The pthread_mutexattr_setrobust() and
* pthread_mutexattr_getrobust() functions respectively set and
* get the mutex robust attribute. This attribute is set in the
* robust parameter to these functions.
*
* PARAMETERS
* attr
* pointer to an instance of pthread_mutexattr_t
*
* robust
* must be one of:
*
* PTHREAD_MUTEX_STALLED
*
* PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST
*
* DESCRIPTION
* The pthread_mutexattr_setrobust() and
* pthread_mutexattr_getrobust() functions respectively set and
* get the mutex robust attribute. This attribute is set in the
* robust parameter to these functions. The default value of the
* robust attribute is PTHREAD_MUTEX_STALLED.
*
* The robustness of mutex is contained in the robustness attribute
* of the mutex attributes. Valid mutex robustness values are:
*
* PTHREAD_MUTEX_STALLED
* No special actions are taken if the owner of the mutex is
* terminated while holding the mutex lock. This can lead to
* deadlocks if no other thread can unlock the mutex.
* This is the default value.
*
* PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST
* If the process containing the owning thread of a robust mutex
* terminates while holding the mutex lock, the next thread that
* acquires the mutex shall be notified about the termination by
* the return value [EOWNERDEAD] from the locking function. If the
* owning thread of a robust mutex terminates while holding the mutex
* lock, the next thread that acquires the mutex may be notified
* about the termination by the return value [EOWNERDEAD]. The
* notified thread can then attempt to mark the state protected by
* the mutex as consistent again by a call to
* pthread_mutex_consistent(). After a subsequent successful call to
* pthread_mutex_unlock(), the mutex lock shall be released and can
* be used normally by other threads. If the mutex is unlocked without
* a call to pthread_mutex_consistent(), it shall be in a permanently
* unusable state and all attempts to lock the mutex shall fail with
* the error [ENOTRECOVERABLE]. The only permissible operation on such
* a mutex is pthread_mutex_destroy().
*
* RESULTS
* 0 successfully set attribute,
* EINVAL 'attr' or 'robust' is invalid,
*
