  pthread_attr_getdetachstate()

  NAME

    pthread_attr_getdetachstate(), pthread_attr_setdetachstate() - get or set
    the thread detach-state attribute

  SYNOPSIS

    #include 

    int pthread_attr_getdetachstate(const pthread_attr_t *attr, int
    *detachstate)
    int pthread_attr_setdetachstate(pthread_attr_t *attr, int detachstate);

  DESCRIPTION

    The pthread_attr_setdetachstate(2) function sets the detach-state
    attribute in the thread attributes object referenced by attr using the
    value of the detachstate argument. If detachstate is set to
    PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED, then any thread created using the attr thread
    attributes object is created in a detached state. If detachstate is set to
    PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE (the default), then the thread is created in a
    joinable state.

    After the attributes have been set in the thread attributes object
    referenced by attr, the pthread_create(2) function can be called to create
    a new thread with the specified attributes. This function does not affect
    the current running thread.

    The pthread_attr_getdetachstate(2) function retrieves the detach-state
    attribute in the attr thread attributes object, storing the value in the
    location referenced by the detachstate argument.

  RETURN VALUES

    On success, both functions return 0; otherwise, they return an error
    number.

  ERRORS

    The pthread_attr_setdetachstate() function can fail for the following
    reason:

    [EINVAL]
        The value of the detachstate argument was invalid.

    Neither function returns [EINTR].
