thrd_detach —
detach a thread
#include
<threads.h>
int
thrd_detach(thrd_t thrd);
The
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
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 thrd_detach() on a thread does not
cause it to terminate.
Upon successful completion, the
thrd_detach() function returns
thrd_success.
Otherwise, it returns
thrd_error,
indicating that an error has occurred.
