@section Introduction
The mutex manager ...
The mutex manager implements the functionality required of the mutex
manager as defined by POSIX 1003.1b-1996. This standard requires that
a compliant operating system provide the facilties to ensure that
threads can operate with mutual exclusion from one another and
defines the API that must be provided.
The directives provided by the mutex manager are:

@section Background
There is currently no text in this section.
@subsection Mutex Attributes
Mutex attributes are utilized only at mutex creation time. A mutex
attribute structure may be initialized and passed as an argument to
the @code{mutex_init} routine. Note that the priority ceiling of
a mutex may be set at run-time.
@table @b
@item blocking protcol
is the XXX
@item priority ceiling
is the XXX
@item pshared
is the XXX
@end table
@subsection PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER
This is a special value that a variable of type @code{pthread_mutex_t}
may be statically initialized to as shown below:
@example
pthread_mutex_t my_mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
@end example
This indicates that @code{my_mutex} will be automatically initialized
by an implicit call to @code{pthread_mutex_init} the first time
the mutex is used.
Note that the mutex will be initialized with default attributes.

The @code{pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol} routine is used to set value of the

The @code{protocol} can be one of the following:

There is currently no way to get simple priority blocking ordering
with POSIX mutexes even though this could easily by supported by RTEMS.
