       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS

           int *_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e);

       The _d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e 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 _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___d_e_t_a_c_h() or _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___j_o_i_n()
       function is an error.

       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___g_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e() and _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e()
       functions, respectively, shall get and set the _d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e attribute in
       the _a_t_t_r object.

       For _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___g_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e(), _d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e shall be set to either
       PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED or PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE.

       For _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e(), the application shall set
       _d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e to either PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED or
       PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE.

       A value of PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED shall cause all threads created with
       _a_t_t_r to be in the detached state, whereas using a value of
       PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE shall cause all threads created with _a_t_t_r to be
       in the joinable state. The default value of the _d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e attribute
       shall be PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the _a_t_t_r argument
       to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___g_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e() or _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e() does
       not refer to an initialized thread attributes object.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       Upon successful completion, _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___g_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e() and
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e() shall return a value of 0; otherwise, an
       error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___g_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e() function stores the value of the
       _d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e attribute in _d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e if successful.

       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e() function shall fail if:

       EEIINNVVAALL The value of _d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e was not valid

       These functions shall not return an error code of [[EEIINNTTRR]].

       This example shows how to obtain the _d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e attribute of a thread
       attribute object.

           else {
               /* legal values for detachstate are:

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _a_t_t_r
       argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___g_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e() or
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___a_t_t_r___s_e_t_d_e_t_a_c_h_s_t_a_t_e() does not refer to an initialized thread
       attributes object, it is recommended that the function should fail and
       report an [[EEIINNVVAALL]] error.
