-.TH PTHREAD_DETACH 3 LinuxThreads
-
-.SH NAME
-pthread_detach \- put a running thread in the detached state
-
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-#include <pthread.h>
-
-int pthread_detach(pthread_t th);
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-!pthread_detach! put the thread |th| in the detached state. This
-guarantees that the memory resources consumed by |th| will be freed
-immediately when |th| terminates. However, this prevents other threads
-from synchronizing on the termination of |th| using !pthread_join!.
-
-A thread can be created initially in the detached state, using the
-!detachstate! attribute to !pthread_create!(3). In contrast,
-!pthread_detach! applies to threads created in the joinable state, and
-which need to be put in the detached state later.
-
-After !pthread_detach! completes, subsequent attempts to perform
-!pthread_join! on |th| will fail. If another thread is already joining
-the thread |th| at the time !pthread_detach! is called,
-!pthread_detach! does nothing and leaves |th| in the joinable state.
-
-.SH "RETURN VALUE"
-On success, 0 is returned. On error, a non-zero error code is returned.
-
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-!ESRCH!
-No thread could be found corresponding to that specified by |th|
-.TP
-!EINVAL!
-the thread |th| is already in the detached state
