Description:

The pthread_attr_destroy() function destroys the given thread-attribute object.

The QNX implementation of this function doesn't actually free the memory used by the pthread_attr_t structure. To conform to the POSIX standard, don't reuse the attribute object unless you reinitialize it by calling pthread_attr_init().

You can use a thread-attribute object to define the attributes of new threads when you call pthread_create().

Returns:

0 for success, or an error number.

Errors:

EOK: Success.
