int pthread_attr_getdetachstate(
const pthread_attr_t *attr,

PARAMETERS
Thread attributes object whose detachstate attribute is obtained.
Receives the value of the detachstate attribute.
DESCRIPTION
This routine obtains the detachstate attribute of a thread attributes
object. This attribute specifies whether threads created using the
specified thread attributes object are created in a detached state.
See the pthread_attr_setdetachstate description for information about
the detachstate attribute.
RETURN VALUES
On successful completion, this routine returns a zero, and the detach‐
state attribute is set in detachstate. A value of PTHREAD_CREATE_JOIN‐
ABLE indicates the thread is not detached, and a value of PTHREAD_CRE‐
ATE_DETACHED indicates the thread is detached.
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 detached state attribute is returned in
detachstate. The value specified by attr does not refer to an existing
thread attributes object.
