+ *
+ * DOCPUBLIC
+ * The pthread_mutexattr_settype() and
+ * pthread_mutexattr_gettype() functions respectively set and
+ * get the mutex type attribute. This attribute is set in the
+ * type parameter to these functions.
+ *
+ * PARAMETERS
+ * attr
+ * pointer to an instance of pthread_mutexattr_t
+ *
+ * type
+ * must be one of:
+ *
+ * PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT
+ *
+ * PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
+ *
+ * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK
+ *
+ * PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ * The pthread_mutexattr_settype() and
+ * pthread_mutexattr_gettype() functions respectively set and
+ * get the mutex type attribute. This attribute is set in the
+ * type parameter to these functions. The default value of the
+ * type attribute is PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT.
+ *
+ * The type of mutex is contained in the type attribute of the
+ * mutex attributes. Valid mutex types include:
+ *
+ * PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
+ * This type of mutex does not detect deadlock. A
+ * thread attempting to relock this mutex without
+ * first unlocking it will deadlock. Attempting to
+ * unlock a mutex locked by a different thread
+ * results in undefined behavior. Attempting to
+ * unlock an unlocked mutex results in undefined
+ * behavior.
+ *
+ * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK
+ * This type of mutex provides error checking. A
+ * thread attempting to relock this mutex without
+ * first unlocking it will return with an error. A
+ * thread attempting to unlock a mutex which another
+ * thread has locked will return with an error. A
+ * thread attempting to unlock an unlocked mutex will
+ * return with an error.
+ *
+ * PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT
+ * Same as PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
+ *
+ * PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE
+ * A thread attempting to relock this mutex without
+ * first unlocking it will succeed in locking the
+ * mutex. The relocking deadlock which can occur with
+ * mutexes of type PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL cannot occur
+ * with this type of mutex. Multiple locks of this
+ * mutex require the same number of unlocks to
+ * release the mutex before another thread can
+ * acquire the mutex. A thread attempting to unlock a
+ * mutex which another thread has locked will return
+ * with an error. A thread attempting to unlock an
+ * unlocked mutex will return with an error. This
+ * type of mutex is only supported for mutexes whose
+ * process shared attribute is
+ * PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.
+ *
+ * RESULTS
+ * 0 successfully set attribute,
+ * EINVAL 'attr' or 'type' is invalid,
+ *
