+.SH NAME
+pthread_attr_setdetachstate, pthread_attr_getdetachstate \-
+set/get detach state attribute in thread attributes object
+.SH LIBRARY
+POSIX threads library
+.RI ( libpthread ", " \-lpthread )
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.PP
+.BI "int pthread_attr_setdetachstate(pthread_attr_t *" attr \
+", int " detachstate );

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR pthread_attr_setdetachstate ()
+function sets the detach state attribute of the
+thread attributes object referred to by
+.I attr
+to the value specified in
+.IR detachstate .
+The detach state attribute determines whether a thread created using
+the thread attributes object
+.I attr
+will be created in a joinable or a detached state.
+.PP
+The following values may be specified in
+.IR detachstate :
+.TP
+.B PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED
+Threads that are created using
+.I attr
+will be created in a detached state.
+.TP
+.B PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE
+Threads that are created using
+.I attr
+will be created in a joinable state.
+.PP
+The default setting of the detach state attribute in a newly initialized
+thread attributes object is
+.BR PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE .
+.PP
+The
+.BR pthread_attr_getdetachstate ()
+returns the detach state attribute of the thread attributes object
+.I attr
+in the buffer pointed to by
+.IR detachstate .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, these functions return 0;
+on error, they return a nonzero error number.
+.SH ERRORS
+.BR pthread_attr_setdetachstate ()
+can fail with the following error:
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+An invalid value was specified in
+.IR detachstate .

+.SH NOTES
+See
+.BR pthread_create (3)
+for more details on detached and joinable threads.
+.PP
+A thread that is created in a joinable state should
+eventually either be joined using
+.BR pthread_join (3)
+or detached using
+.BR pthread_detach (3);
+see
+.BR pthread_create (3).
+.PP
+It is an error to specify the thread ID of
+a thread that was created in a detached state
+in a later call to
+.BR pthread_detach (3)
+or
+.BR pthread_join (3).
