PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Thread attributes object whose  detachstate  attribute  is

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       On successful completion, this routine returns a zero, and
       the  detachstate  attribute is set in detachstate. A value
       of PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE indicates  the  thread  is  not
       detached, and a value of PTHREAD_CREATE_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.
