>Description:
The pshared attribute is not mentioned on the pthread_mutexattr_* manual page, although "man pthread_mutexattr_getpshared" gets you that page.

Also, the functions pthread_mutexattr_{get,set}pshared are not implemented, even though POSIX requires them (yes, even if you don't support anything but PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE).
>How-To-Repeat:
man pthread_mutexattr_getpshared
search for pshared

Attempt to compile the following program:
#include <pthread.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    pthread_mutexattr_t ma;

    pthread_mutexattr_init(&ma);
    pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(&ma, PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE);

    exit(0);
}

>Fix:
Add the pthread_mutexattr_{g,s}etpshared() functions, just like the rwlock has.

Add mention of them to the man page.
