Hello D'go,
You can do following steps to start a new thread.
Navigate to HOME when you login here, then go to forum option above. You will see lots of different sub forums like Shell scripting, Home work etc. You can click anyone of the forum which is suitable to your thread. Then at left corner you will see a button named New Thread by clicking there you can start a new thread.
Thanks,
R. Singh

pthread_detach
pthread_detach(3C) pthread_detach(3C)
NAME
pthread_detach - detach a thread
SYNOPSIS
cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ library... ]
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_detach(pthread_t thread);
The pthread_detach() function is used to indicate to the implementation that storage for the thread thread can be reclaimed when that
thread terminates. In other words, pthread_detach() dynamically resets the detachstate attribute of the thread to PTHREAD_CRE-
ATE_DETACHED. After a successful call to this function, it would not be necessary to reclaim the thread using pthread_join(). See
pthread_join(3C). If thread has not terminated, pthread_detach() will not cause it to terminate. The effect of multiple pthread_detach()
calls on the same target thread is unspecified.
If successful, pthread_detach() returns 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
The pthread_detach() function will fail if:
EINVAL The implementation has detected that the value specified by thread does not refer to a joinable thread.
ESRCH No thread could be found corresponding to that specified by the given thread ID.
