The function
int pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol(const pthread_mutexattr_t *restrict attr,
int *restrict protocol);
Gets the protocol attribute of a mutexattr object (which was prev. created
by the function pthread_mutexattr_init()).

Upon success, it returns 0.

It MAY fail if:
[EINVAL] - 'attr' or 'protocol' is invalid.
[EPERM] - The caller doesn't have the privilege to perform the operation.
Shall not return error code of [EINTR].
</assertion>
<assertion id="4" tag="ref:XSH6:34376:34377">
When a thread owns a mutex with the PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE protocol attribute,
its priority and scheduling shall not be affected by its mutex ownership.
</assertion>
<assertion id="5" tag="ref:XSH6:34378:34381">
When a thread is blocking higher priority threads because of owning one or
more mutexes with the PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT protocol attribute, it shall
execute at the higher of its priority or the priority of the highest priority
thread waiting on any of the mutexes owned by this thread and initialized
with this protocol.
</assertion>
<assertion id="6" tag="ref:XSH6:34382:34385">
When a thread owns one or more mutexes initialized with the PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT
protocol, it shall execute at the higher of its priority or the highest of the
priority ceilings of all the mutexes owned by this thread and initialized with
this attribute, regardless of whether other threads are blocked on any of these
mutexes or not.
</assertion>
<assertion id="7" tag="ref:XSH6:34386:34392">
While a thread is holding a mutex which has been initialized with the
PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT or PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT protocol attributes, it shall
not be subject to being moved to the tail of the scheduling queue at its
priority in the event that its original priority is changed, such as by a call
to sched_setparam( ). Likewise, when a thread unlocks a mutex that has been
initialized with the PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT or PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT protocol
attributes, it shall not be subject to being moved to the tail of the scheduling
queue at its priority in the event that its original priority is changed.
</assertion>
<assertion id="8" tag="ref:XSH6:34393:34394">
If a thread simultaneously owns several mutexes initialized with different
protocols, it shall execute at the highest of the priorities that it would
have obtained by each of these protocols.
</assertion>
<assertion id="9" tag="ref:XSH6:34395:34401">
When a thread makes a call to pthread_mutex_lock( ), the mutex was initialized
with the protocol attribute having the value PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT, when the
calling thread is blocked because the mutex is owned by another thread, that
owner thread shall inherit the priority level of the calling thread as long as
it continues to own the mutex. The implementation shall update its execution
priority to the maximum of its assigned priority and all its inherited priorities.
Furthermore, if this owner thread itself becomes blocked on another mutex,
the same priority inheritance effect shall be propagated to this other owner
thread, in a recursive manner
