+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_barrier_init "pthread_barrier_t *barrier" "const pthread_barrierattr_t *attr" "int count"
+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_barrier_wait "pthread_barrier_t *barrier"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pthread_barrier_init
+function will initialize
+.Fa barrier
+with attributes specified in
+.Fa attr ,
+or if it is NULL,
+with default attributes.
+The number of threads that must call
+.Fn pthread_barrier_wait
+before any of the waiting threads can be
+released is specified by
+.Fa count .
+The
+.Fn pthread_barrier_destroy
+function will destroy
+.Fa barrier
+and release any resources that may have been allocated on its behalf.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pthread_barrier_wait
+function will synchronize calling threads at
+.Fa barrier .
+The threads will be blocked from
+making further progress until
+a sufficient number of threads calls this function.
+The number of threads that must call it before
+any of them will be released is determined by the
+.Fa count
+argument to
+.Fn pthread_barrier_init .
+Once the threads have been released the barrier will be reset.
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+If successful,
+both
+.Fn pthread_barrier_destroy
+and
+.Fn pthread_barrier_init
+will return zero.
+Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
+If the call to
+.Fn pthread_barrier_wait
+is successful all but one of the threads will return zero.
+That one thread will return PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD.
+Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
+.Pp
+None of these functions will return EINTR.
+.Sh IMPLIMENTATION NOTES
+In both
+.Lb libpthread
+and
+.Lb libthr
+the PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD return value will
+always be returned by the last thread to reach the barrier.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn pthread_barrier_destroy
+function will fail if:

+An attempt was made to destroy
