+.Sh NAME
+.Nm posix_spawnattr_init ,
+.Nm posix_spawnattr_destroy
+.Nd "initialize and destroy spawn attributes object"
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In spawn.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_init "posix_spawnattr_t * attr"
+.Ft int
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_destroy "posix_spawnattr_t * attr"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_init
+function initializes a spawn attributes object
+.Fa attr
+with the default value for all of the individual attributes used by the
+implementation.
+Initializing an already initialized spawn attributes object may cause
+memory to be leaked.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_destroy
+function destroys a spawn attributes object.
+A destroyed
+.Fa attr
+attributes object can be reinitialized using
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_init .
+The object should not be used after it has been destroyed.
+.Pp
+A spawn attributes object is of type
+.Vt posix_spawnattr_t
+(defined in
+.In spawn.h )
+and is used to specify the inheritance of process attributes across a
+spawn operation.
+.Pp
+The resulting spawn attributes object (possibly modified by setting
+individual attribute values), is used to modify the behavior of
+.Fn posix_spawn
+or
+.Fn posix_spawnp .
+After a spawn attributes object has been used to spawn a process by a
+call to a
+.Fn posix_spawn
+or
+.Fn posix_spawnp ,
+any function affecting the attributes object (including destruction)
+will not affect any process that has been spawned in this way.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion,
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_init
+and
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_destroy
+return zero;
+otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_init
+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory exists to initialize the spawn file actions object.
