These functions are deprecated, usepthread_mutexattr_settype(3) andpthread_mutexattr_gettype(3) instead.
pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np() always returns 0.pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np() returns 0 on success and a non-zero error code on error.
On error,pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np() returns the following error code:EINVALkind is neitherPTHREAD_MUTEX_FAST_NPnorPTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NPnorPTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP.
