This -guarantees that the memory resources consumed by |th| will be freed -immediately when |th| terminates. However, this prevents other threads -from synchronizing on the termination of |th| using !pthread_join!. - -A thread can be created initially in the detached state, using the -!detachstate! attribute to !pthread_create!(3). In contrast, -!pthread_detach! applies to threads created in the joinable state, and -which need to be put in the detached state later. - -After !pthread_detach! completes, subsequent attempts to perform -!pthread_join! on |th| will fail. If another thread is already joining -the thread |th| at the time !pthread_detach! is called, -!pthread_detach! does nothing and leaves |th| in the joinable state. - -.SH "RETURN VALUE" -On success, 0 is returned. On error, a non-zero error code is returned. - -.SH ERRORS -.TP -!ESRCH! -No thread could be found corresponding to that specified by |th| -.TP -!EINVAL! -the thread |th| is already in the detached state - -.SH AUTHOR -Xavier Leroy <Xavier.Leroy@inria.fr> - -.SH "SEE ALSO" -!pthread_create!(3), -!pthread_join!(3), -!pthread_attr_setdetachstate!(3).
