pthread_a...etachstate(3) Library Functions Manual pthread_a...etachstate(3) NAME pthread_attr_getdetachstate - Obtains the detachstate attribute of the specified thread attributes object. LIBRARY DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so) SYNOPSIS #include <pthread.h> int pthread_attr_getdetachstate( const pthread_attr_t *attr, int *detachstate); STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan- dards as follows: IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface PARAMETERS Thread attributes object whose detachstate attribute is obtained. Re- ceives the value of the detachstate attribute. DESCRIPTION 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 On successful completion, this routine returns a zero, and the detach- state attribute is set in detachstate. A value of PTHREAD_CREATE_JOIN- ABLE indicates the thread is not detached, and a value of PTHREAD_CRE- ATE_DETACHED indicates the thread is detached. If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value in- dicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows: Successful completion. The detached state attribute is returned in de- tachstate. The value specified by attr does not refer to an existing thread attributes object.
