+<P><B>pthread_detach</B> puts the thread <I>th</I> in the detached
+state. This guarantees that the memory resources consumed by <I>th</I>
+will be freed immediately when <I>th</I> terminates. However, this
+prevents other threads from synchronizing on the termination of <I>th</I>
+using <B>pthread_join</B>.
+</P>
+<P>A thread can be created initially in the detached state, using the
+<B>detachstate</B> attribute to <A HREF="pthread_create.html"><B>pthread_create</B>(3)</A>
+. In contrast, <B>pthread_detach</B> applies to threads created in
+the joinable state, and which need to be put in the detached state
+later.
+</P>
+<P>After <B>pthread_detach</B> completes, subsequent attempts to
+perform <B>pthread_join</B> on <I>th</I> will fail. If another thread
+is already joining the thread <I>th</I> at the time <B>pthread_detach</B>
+is called, <B>pthread_detach</B> does nothing and leaves <I>th</I> in
+the joinable state.
