+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIpthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling\fP() and \fIpthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling\fP()
+functions, respectively, shall get
+and set the priority ceiling attribute of a mutex attributes object
+pointed to by \fIattr\fP which was previously created by the
+function \fIpthread_mutexattr_init\fP().
+.LP
+The \fIprioceiling\fP attribute contains the priority ceiling of initialized
+mutexes. The values of \fIprioceiling\fP are
+within the maximum range of priorities defined by SCHED_FIFO.
+.LP
+The \fIprioceiling\fP attribute defines the priority ceiling of initialized
+mutexes, which is the minimum priority level at
+which the critical section guarded by the mutex is executed. In order
+to avoid priority inversion, the priority ceiling of the
+mutex shall be set to a priority higher than or equal to the highest
+priority of all the threads that may lock that mutex. The
+values of \fIprioceiling\fP are within the maximum range of priorities
+defined under the SCHED_FIFO scheduling policy.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, the \fIpthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling\fP()
+and \fIpthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling\fP()
+functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned
+to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+The \fIpthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling\fP() and \fIpthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling\fP()
+functions may fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EINVAL
+The value specified by \fIattr\fP or \fIprioceiling\fP is invalid.
+.TP 7
+.B EPERM
+The caller does not have the privilege to perform the operation.
+.sp
+.LP
+These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
