Standard C Library Functions      pthreadattrgetdetachstate(3C)



NAME
     pthreadattrgetdetachstate,  pthreadattrsetdetachstate  -
     get or set detachstate attribute

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

     int pthreadattrsetdetachstate(pthreadattrt *attr,
          int detachstate);


     int pthreadattrgetdetachstate(const pthreadattrt *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 pthreaddetach() or pthreadjoin() function is an error.


     The            pthreadattrsetdetachstate()             and
     pthreadattrgetdetachstate(), respectively, set and get the
     detachstate attribute in the attr object.


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

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


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

ERORS
     The             pthreadattrsetdetachstate()             or
     pthreadattrgetdetachstate() functions may fail if:

     EINVAL    attr or detachstate is invalid.
