PTHREAD_A...ETACHSTATE(3P)

💅 PTHREAD_A...ETACHSTATE(3P) 💅

okay bestie, so this one lives in the POSIX Programmer's Manual, and the man page name is literally PTHREAD_A...ETACHSTATE(3P) — yes the ellipsis is real, it's giving "we ran out of room on the page header" energy. 😭

🚨 PROLOG 🚨

okay so before literally anything else, real talk:

• This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. 🎀
• The Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so bestie, go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior. 👀
• Or... the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all. 💀 vibe check failed fr fr.

no cap, don't just assume. check your actual platform.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

ok so there's no SEE ALSO section on this one, which is lowkey a crime, but the DESCRIPTION already told you where to go: pthread_attr_getdetachstate(). 🫶 that's your girl.

if you spot a typo, it's probably from the conversion, not from the Standard. report it at that kernel.org link above. don't come for the IEEE, come for the man page format. 💅

and that's a wrap, bestie!! 🎀 this page was brought to you by IEEE/The Open Group, dated 2017, and it's the PTHREAD_A...ETACHSTATE(3P) page from the POSIX Programmer's Manual. slay, go read the detachstate getter, mwah 💜✨
