resides can manipulate the lock.
PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE Only threads created within the same
process as the thread that initialized the
read/write lock can manipulate the lock.
This is the default value.

If successful, the pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() function will return
zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORSpthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() will fail if:
[EINVAL] The value specified by attr or pshared is invalid.
