- <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>
