I have looked at your source file.
https://github.com/jtsiomb/c11threads/blob/1fa0de734e204c1096d0dabac84d0c4497318944/c11threads.h

I suggest to consider the following implementation details a bit more.
1. Would you like to provide a "typedef" for each enumeration?

2. How do you think about to complete error detection and corresponding
exception handling?
2.1 Mapping of error codes from the POSIX thread interface to the values that
are specified by the current standard for the C programming language.
2.2 pthread_mutexattr_init/destroy
