       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() function shall destroy the given condition
       variable specified by _c_o_n_d; the object becomes, in effect,
       uninitialized. An implementation may cause _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() to
       set the object referenced by _c_o_n_d to an invalid value. A destroyed
       condition variable object can be reinitialized using
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___i_n_i_t(); the results of otherwise referencing the object
       after it has been destroyed are undefined.

       It shall be safe to destroy an initialized condition variable upon
       which no threads are currently blocked. Attempting to destroy a
       condition variable upon which other threads are currently blocked
       results in undefined behavior.

       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___i_n_i_t() function shall initialize the condition
       variable referenced by _c_o_n_d with attributes referenced by _a_t_t_r.  If
       _a_t_t_r is NULL, the default condition variable attributes shall be used;
       the effect is the same as passing the address of a default condition
       variable attributes object. Upon successful initialization, the state
       of the condition variable shall become initialized.

       Only _c_o_n_d itself may be used for performing synchronization. The result
       of referring to copies of _c_o_n_d in calls to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___w_a_i_t(),
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___t_i_m_e_d_w_a_i_t(), _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___s_i_g_n_a_l(),
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___b_r_o_a_d_c_a_s_t(), and _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() is undefined.

       Attempting to initialize an already initialized condition variable
       results in undefined behavior.

       In cases where default condition variable attributes are appropriate,
       the macro PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER can be used to initialize condition
       variables. The effect shall be equivalent to dynamic initialization by
       a call to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___i_n_i_t() with parameter _a_t_t_r specified as NULL,
       except that no error checks are performed.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the _c_o_n_d argument
       to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() does not refer to an initialized condition
       variable.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the _a_t_t_r argument
       to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___i_n_i_t() does not refer to an initialized condition
       variable attributes object.

       If successful, the _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() and _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___i_n_i_t()
       functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be
       returned to indicate the error.

EERRRROORRSS
       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___i_n_i_t() function shall fail if:

       EEAAGGAAIINN The system lacked the necessary resources (other than memory) to
              initialize another condition variable.

       EENNOOMMEEMM Insufficient memory exists to initialize the condition variable.

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

EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS
       A condition variable can be destroyed immediately after all the threads
       that are blocked on it are awakened. For example, consider the
       following code:

           ssttrruucctt lliisstt {{
               pptthhrreeaadd__mmuutteexx__tt llmm;;
               ......
           }}

           struct elt {
               key k;
               int busy;
               pthread_cond_t notbusy;
               ...
           }

           /* Find a list element and reserve it. */
           struct elt *
           list_find(struct list *lp, key k)
           {
               struct elt *ep;

               pthread_mutex_lock(&lp->lm);
               while ((ep = find_elt(l, k) != NULL) && ep->busy)
                   pthread_cond_wait(&ep->notbusy, &lp->lm);
               if (ep != NULL)
                   ep->busy = 1;
               pthread_mutex_unlock(&lp->lm);
               return(ep);
           }

           delete_elt(struct list *lp, struct elt *ep)
           {
               pthread_mutex_lock(&lp->lm);
               assert(ep->busy);
               ... remove ep from list ...
               ep->busy = 0;  /* Paranoid. */
           (A) pthread_cond_broadcast(&ep->notbusy);
               pthread_mutex_unlock(&lp->lm);
           (B) pthread_cond_destroy(&rp->notbusy);
               free(ep);
           }

       In this example, the condition variable and its list element may be
       freed (line B) immediately after all threads waiting for it are
       awakened (line A), since the mutex and the code ensure that no other
       thread can touch the element to be deleted.

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _c_o_n_d
       argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() does not refer to an initialized
       condition variable, it is recommended that the function should fail and
       report an [[EEIINNVVAALL]] error.

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _c_o_n_d
       argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() or _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___i_n_i_t() refers to a
       condition variable that is in use (for example, in a
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___w_a_i_t() call) by another thread, or detects that the value
       specified by the _c_o_n_d argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___c_o_n_d___i_n_i_t() refers to an
       already initialized condition variable, it is recommended that the
       function should fail and report an [[EEBBUUSSYY]] error.

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