Well, the '_NP' in PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITALIZER_NP should give
you some idea. Hint: Non-portable.
There is no PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITALIZER_NP in the POSIX standard,
and one shouldn't rely on its use. Recursive mutexes can be easily done
by the application, just by wrapping them in a structure with an owner
and count.
That said, SUSv2 does provide a recursive mutex (unlike POSIX). To
use a recursive mutex under FreeBSD, use:
pthread_mutex_settype(PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE);
