pthread_detach(3)					     pthread_detach(3)

NAME
       pthread_detach - Marks a thread object for deletion

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_detach(
	       pthread_t thread );

LIBRARY
       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

STANDARDS
       Interfaces  documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
       dards as follows:

       IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface

PARAMETERS
       Thread object being marked for deletion.

DESCRIPTION
       This routine marks the specified thread object to indicate that storage
       for  the	 corresponding	thread can be reclaimed when the thread termi‐
       nates. This includes storage for the thread argument's return value, as
       well  as the thread object. If thread has not terminated when this rou‐
       tine is called, this routine does not cause it to terminate.

       When a thread object is no longer referenced, call this routine.

       The results of this routine are unpredictable if the  value  of	thread
       refers to a thread object that does not exist.

       A thread can be created already detached by setting its thread object's
       detachstate attribute.

       The pthread_join(3) routine  also  detaches  the	 target	 thread	 after
       pthread_join(3) returns successfully.

RETURN VALUES
       If  an  error  condition	 occurs, this routine returns an integer value
       indicating the type of error. Possible return values  are  as  follows:
       Successful completion.  The value specified by thread does not refer to
       a joinable thread.  The value specified by thread cannot be found.

ERRORS
       None
