<H2><A HREF="#toc2" NAME="sect2">Description</A></H2>
<P>The <B>pthread_barrier_destroy</B> function shall destroy the
barrier referenced by <I>barrier</I> and release any resources used
by the barrier. The effect of subsequent use of the barrier is
undefined until the barrier is reinitialized by another call to
<B>pthread_barrier_init</B> . An implementation may use this function
to set <I>barrier</I> to an invalid value. An error code is returned if <B>pthread_barrier_destroy</B> is called when any thread is
blocked on the barrier, or if this function is called with an
uninitialized barrier.
</P>
<P>The <B>pthread_barrier_init</B> function shall allocate any
resources required to use the barrier referenced by <I>barrier</I>
and shall initialize the barrier with attributes referenced by <I>attr</I>.
If <I>attr</I> is NULL, the default barrier attributes shall be used;
the effect is the same as passing the address of a default barrier
attributes object. The results are undefined if <B>pthread_barrier_init</B>
is called when any thread is blocked on the barrier (that is, has not
returned from the <A HREF="pthread_barrier_wait.html"><B>pthread_barrier_wait</B>(3)</A>
call). The results are undefined if a barrier is used without first
being initialized. The results are undefined if <B>pthread_barrier_init</B>
is called specifying an already initialized barrier.
</P>
<P>The <I>count</I> argument specifies the number of threads that
must call <A HREF="pthread_barrier_wait.html"><B>pthread_barrier_wait</B>(3)</A>
before any of them successfully return from the call. The value
specified by <I>count</I> must be greater than zero.
</P>
<P>If the <B>pthread_barrier_init</B> function fails, the barrier
shall not be initialized and the contents of <I>barrier</I> are
undefined.
</P>
<P>Only the object referenced by <I>barrier</I> may be used for
performing synchronization. The result of referring to copies of that
object in calls to <B>pthread_barrier_destroy</B> <B>or</B>
<A HREF="pthread_barrier_wait.html"><B>pthread_barrier_wait</B>(3)</A>
is undefined.</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Return Value</A></H2>
<P>Upon successful completion, these functions shall return zero;
otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
