I'd recommend looking at their man pages. They describe what the return value will be upon error and which errors they can return

I don't typically see locking and unlocking handled, since there's not really anything you can do at that point

I mean, you could elide running any of your code if pthread_mutex_lock isn't zero. Looks like pthread_mutex_unlock won't fail unless you don't own the mutex, so that shouldn't happen if lock succeeded

I would definitely check initialization
