Basic Thread Management

• Detaching a Thread - pthread_detach()

  • int pthread_detach(pthread_t tid)
  • may NOT be joined after detachment
  • exit status is lost

• Terminating a thread - pthread_exit()

  • pthread_exit( void *value_ptr)
  • Analogous to process exit()
  • Implicitly called when start_routine terminates.
  • Last thread in process implicitly calls exit(0)
