<P>These functions contain the code normally run via <B>dllMain</B>
when the library is used as a dll but which need to be called
explicitly by an application when the library is statically linked.</P>
<P>You will need to call <B>pthread_win32_process_attach_np</B>
before you can call any pthread routines when statically linking. You
should call <B>pthread_win32_process_detach_np</B> before exiting
your application to clean up.</P>
<P><B>pthread_win32_thread_attach_np</B> is currently a no-op, but
<B>pthread_win32_thread_detach_np</B> is needed to clean up the
implicit pthread handle that is allocated to a Win32 thread if it
calls certain pthreads routines. Call this routine when the Win32
thread exits.</P>
<P>These functions invariably return TRUE except for
<B>pthread_win32_process_attach_np</B> which will return FALSE if
pthreads-w32 initialisation fails.</P>

<P>None.</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc4" NAME="sect4"><FONT COLOR="#000080">Return Value</FONT></A></H2>
<P>These routines return TRUE (non-zero) on success, or FALSE (0) if
they fail.</P>
