Arguments



attr

 Thread attributes object whose detachstate attribute is
obtained. 
detachstate

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 detachedstate.


On successful completion, this routine returns a zero and the
detached state attribute is set in detachstate. A value
of PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE indicates the thread is not detached, and
a value of PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED indicates the thread is detached.


See the pthread_attr_setdetachstate description for information
about the detachstate attribute.

Return Values
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value
indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows:
 


Return        Description

0             Successful completion.

[EINVAL]      The value specified by attr does not refer
              to an existing thread attributes object.
