@chapter Condition Variable Manager

@section Introduction

The condition variable manager ...

The directives provided by the condition variable manager are:

@itemize @bullet
@item @code{pthread_condattr_init} - Initialize a Condition Variable Attribute Set
@item @code{pthread_condattr_destroy} - Destroy a Condition Variable Attribute Set
@item @code{pthread_condattr_setpshared} - Set Process Shared Attribute
@item @code{pthread_condattr_getpshared} - Get Process Shared Attribute
@item @code{pthread_cond_init} - Initialize a Condition Variable
@item @code{pthread_cond_destroy} - Destroy a Condition Variable
@item @code{pthread_cond_signal} - Signal a Condition Variable
@item @code{pthread_cond_broadcast} - Broadcast a Condition Variable
@item @code{pthread_cond_wait} - Wait on a Condition Variable
@item @code{pthread_cond_timedwait} - With with Timeout a Condition Variable
