Ctypes, pthreads and pthread_mutex_t

[Doug]

Has any converted the structure pthread_mutex_t <bits/wordsize.h> to
a ctypes structure class ?
I looking at some C code that is using pthreads and need to translate
pthreads_mutex_t structure into python (via ctypes)

Thanks

I think the pthread_mutex_t type is intended to be "opaque" to application
code. You should not mess with its contents; the only thing one must know
is its size (and only if one wants to allocate it from Python). For the
most part, it's like a void* pointer.
