/*
* ------------------------------------------------------
* DOCPUBLIC
* Mutexes created with 'attr' can be shared between
* processes if pthread_mutex_t variable is allocated
* in memory shared by these processes.
*
* PARAMETERS
* attr
* pointer to an instance of pthread_mutexattr_t
*
* pshared
* must be one of:
*
* PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
* May be shared if in shared memory
*
* PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
* Cannot be shared.
*
* DESCRIPTION
* Mutexes creatd with 'attr' can be shared between
* processes if pthread_mutex_t variable is allocated
* in memory shared by these processes.
*
* NOTES:
* 1) pshared mutexes MUST be allocated in shared
* memory.
*
* 2) The following macro is defined if shared mutexes
* are supported:
* _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
*
* RESULTS
* 0 successfully set attribute,
* EINVAL 'attr' or pshared is invalid,
* ENOSYS PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED not supported,
*
* ------------------------------------------------------
