PTHREAD_DETACH(3)	    BSD Programmer's Manual	     PTHREAD_DETACH(3)

NAME
     pthread_detach - detach a running pthread

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread.h>

     int
     pthread_detach(pthread_t tid);

DESCRIPTION
     This interface is defined by IEEE Std1003.1c (``POSIX'').

     The pthread_detach() function indicates to the thread scheduler that when
     the thread specified by tid terminates the resources utilized by the
     thread may be immediately reclaimed.  No exit status is retained and made
     available for another thread to retrieve.

RETURN VALUES
     The pthread_detach() function returns 0 upon successful completion.  If
     an error occurs, a non-zero error value is returned.

ERRORS
     The pthread_detach function may fail and return one of the following er-
     rors:

     [EINVAL]	   The value specified by tid does not refer to a detachable
		   thread.

     [ESRCH]	   No thread could be found corresponding to the specified
		   thread id tid.

SEE ALSO
     pthreads(3),  pthread_create(3),  pthread_exit(3),	 pthread_join(3)

STANDARDS
     The pthread_detach function conforms to IEEE Std1003.1c (``POSIX'').

HISTORY
     The pthread_detach function first appeared in BSD/OS 3.0.
