NAME
       pthread_attr_getdetachstate - Obtains the detachstate attribute of the specified thread attributes object.

LIBRARY
       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_attr_getdetachstate(
			const pthread_attr_t  *attr,
			int		      *detachstate);

       IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface

PARAMETERS
       Thread attributes object whose detachstate attribute is obtained.  Receives the value of the detachstate attribute.

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 a detached state.

       See the pthread_attr_setdetachstate description for information about the detachstate attribute.

RETURN VALUES
       On successful completion, this routine returns a zero, and the detachstate attribute is set in detachstate. A value of PTHREAD_CREATE_JOIN-
       ABLE indicates the thread is not detached, and a value of PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED indicates the thread is detached.

       If  an  error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error.  Possible return values are as follows:
       Successful completion.  The detached state attribute is returned in detachstate.  The value specified by attr does not refer to an existing
       thread attributes object.

       None
