       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___b_a_r_r_i_e_r_a_t_t_r___g_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() function shall obtain the value of
       the _p_r_o_c_e_s_s_-_s_h_a_r_e_d attribute from the attributes object referenced by
       _a_t_t_r.  The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___b_a_r_r_i_e_r_a_t_t_r___s_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() function shall set the
       _p_r_o_c_e_s_s_-_s_h_a_r_e_d attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced
       by _a_t_t_r.

       The _p_r_o_c_e_s_s_-_s_h_a_r_e_d attribute is set to PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED to permit
       a barrier to be operated upon by any thread that has access to the
       memory where the barrier is allocated. If the _p_r_o_c_e_s_s_-_s_h_a_r_e_d attribute
       is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE, the barrier shall only be operated upon by
       threads created within the same process as the thread that initialized
       the barrier; if threads of different processes attempt to operate on
       such a barrier, the behavior is undefined. The default value of the
       attribute shall be PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE. Both constants
       PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED and PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE are defined in
       _<_p_t_h_r_e_a_d_._h_>.

       Additional attributes, their default values, and the names of the
       associated functions to get and set those attribute values are
       implementation-defined.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the _a_t_t_r argument
       to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___b_a_r_r_i_e_r_a_t_t_r___g_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() or _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___b_a_r_r_i_e_r_a_t_t_r___s_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d()
       does not refer to an initialized barrier attributes object.

       If successful, the _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___b_a_r_r_i_e_r_a_t_t_r___g_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() function shall
       return zero and store the value of the _p_r_o_c_e_s_s_-_s_h_a_r_e_d attribute of _a_t_t_r
       into the object referenced by the _p_s_h_a_r_e_d parameter. Otherwise, an
       error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

       If successful, the _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___b_a_r_r_i_e_r_a_t_t_r___s_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() function shall
       return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate
       the error.

       EEIINNVVAALL The new value specified for the _p_r_o_c_e_s_s_-_s_h_a_r_e_d attribute is not
              one of the legal values PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED or
              PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [[EEIINNTTRR]].

       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___b_a_r_r_i_e_r_a_t_t_r___s_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() functions are part of the Thread
       Process-Shared Synchronization option and need not be provided on all
       implementations.

RRAATTIIOONNAALLEE
       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _a_t_t_r
       argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___b_a_r_r_i_e_r_a_t_t_r___g_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() or
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___b_a_r_r_i_e_r_a_t_t_r___s_e_t_p_s_h_a_r_e_d() does not refer to an initialized
       barrier attributes object, it is recommended that the function should
       fail and report an [[EEIINNVVAALL]] error.
