40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Fn pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared
43function is used to get the process shared setting of a read/write
44lock attribute object.
45The setting is returned via
46.Fa pshared ,
47and may be one of two values:
48.Bl -tag -width ".Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE"
49.It Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
50Any thread of any process that has access to the memory where the
51read/write lock resides can manipulate the lock.
52.It Dv PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
53Only threads created within the same process as the thread that
54initialized the read/write lock can manipulate the lock.
55This is
56the default value.
