+.SH NAME
+pthread_attr_getdetachstate, pthread_attr_setdetachstate \- get and
+set the detachstate attribute
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <pthread.h>
+.br
+.sp
+int pthread_attr_getdetachstate(const pthread_attr_t *\fP\fIattr\fP\fB,
+.br
+\ \ \ \ \ \  int *\fP\fIdetachstate\fP\fB);

+int\fP \fIdetachstate\fP\fB); \fP

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIdetachstate\fP attribute controls whether the thread is created
+in a detached state. If the thread is created detached,
+then use of the ID of the newly created thread by the \fIpthread_detach\fP()
+or \fIpthread_join\fP() function is an error.
+.LP
+The \fIpthread_attr_getdetachstate\fP() and \fIpthread_attr_setdetachstate\fP()
+functions, respectively, shall get and set the
+\fIdetachstate\fP attribute in the \fIattr\fP object.
+.LP
+For \fIpthread_attr_getdetachstate\fP(), \fIdetachstate\fP shall be
+set to either PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED or
+PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE.
+.LP
+For \fIpthread_attr_setdetachstate\fP(), the application shall set
+\fIdetachstate\fP to either PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED or
+PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE.
+.LP
+A value of PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED shall cause all threads created
+with \fIattr\fP to be in the detached state, whereas using a
+value of PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE shall cause all threads created with
+\fIattr\fP to be in the joinable state. The default value of
+the \fIdetachstate\fP attribute shall be PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, \fIpthread_attr_getdetachstate\fP() and
+\fIpthread_attr_setdetachstate\fP() shall return a value
+of 0; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the
+error.
+.LP
+The \fIpthread_attr_getdetachstate\fP() function stores the value
+of the \fIdetachstate\fP attribute in \fIdetachstate\fP if
+successful.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+The \fIpthread_attr_setdetachstate\fP() function shall fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EINVAL
+The value of \fIdetachstate\fP was not valid
+.sp
+.LP
+These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
