pthread_barrier_init() Syntax

int pthread_barrier_init(pthread_barrier_t  *barrier, 
          const pthread_barrierattr_t *restrict attr, 
          unsigned count);

#include <pthread.h> 
pthread_barrier_t barrier; 
pthread_barrierattr_t attr;
unsigned count;
int ret; 
ret = pthread_barrier_init(&barrier, &attr, count);

The pthread_barrier_init() function allocates any resources required to use the barrier referenced by barrier and initializes the barrier with attributes referenced by attr. If attr is NULL, the default barrier attributes are used; the effect is the same as passing the address of a default barrier attributes object. The count argument specifies the number of threads that must call pthread_barrier_wait() before any of them successfully return from the call. The value specified by count must be greater than 0.
