Bug ID: 259088
Summary: pthread_mutex_attr is not documented in
pthread_mutex_init
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---

This bug report is based on a gripe in the Discord channel, and is reported for
Jesse.
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pthread_mutex_init&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+13.0-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html
Consider the pthread mutex attributes when initializing a mutex. While I can
check these on the linux man pages, I have no reason to believe (unless they
observe the same POSIX restrictions) that their implementation semantics are
identical. How am I intended as a user to become educated on this type of
thing on FreeBSD?
That page only states what the behavior of the function for the attribute
pointer when it is null, but not for any other value. Am I really supposed to
just go digging in the source code?
