Standard C Library Functions      pthread_attr_getdetachstate(3C)



NAME
     pthread_attr_getdetachstate,  pthread_attr_setdetachstate  -
     get or set detachstate attribute

SYNOPSIS
     cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ library... ]
     #include 

     int pthread_attr_setdetachstate(pthread_attr_t *attr,
          int detachstate);


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


DESCRIPTION
     The detachstate attribute controls  whether  the  thread  is
     created  in  a  detached  state.  If  the  thread is created
     detached, then use of the  ID of the newly created thread by
     the pthread_detach() or pthread_join() function is an error.


     The            pthread_attr_setdetachstate()             and
     pthread_attr_getdetachstate(), respectively, set and get the
     detachstate attribute in the attr object.


     The     detachstate     can     be     set     to     either
     PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED or  PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE. A value
     of  PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED causes all threads created  with
     attr  to  be in the detached state, whereas using a value of
     PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE causes all threads created with attr
     to  be  in  the  joinable  state.  The  default value of the
     detachstate attribute is PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon  successful  completion,  pthread_attr_setdetachstate()
     and pthread_attr_getdetachstate() return a value of  0. Oth-
     erwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.


     The pthread_attr_getdetachstate() function stores the  value
     of the detachstate attribute in detachstate if successful.

ERRORS
     The             pthread_attr_setdetachstate()             or
     pthread_attr_getdetachstate() functions may fail if:

     EINVAL    attr or detachstate is invalid.
