.Dd "Jan 13, 2015" .Dt THRD_DETACH 3C .Os .Sh NAME .Nm thrd_detach .Nd detach a thread .Sh SYNOPSIS n threads.h .Ft int .Fo thrd_detach .Fa "thrd_t thrd" .Fc .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn thrd_detach function causes a thread to be considered detached from the rest of the execution environment. While detached threads are still fully observable, they cannot be joined with, calls to .Fn thrd_join will fail. In addition, if all non-detached threads have terminated, the program will terminate; detached threads cannot keep a program running. The act of calling .Fn thrd_detach on a thread does not cause it to terminate. .Sh RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, the .Xr thrd_detach function returns .Sy thrd_success . Otherwise, it returns .Sy thrd_error , indicating that an error has occurred. .Sh INTERFACE STABILITY .Sy Standard .Sh MT-LEVEL .Sy MT-safe .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr pthread_detach 3C , .Xr thrd_create 3C , .Xr thrd_join 3C , .Xr attributes 5 , .Xr threads 5
