.Dd January 20, 2007 .Dt _LWP_DETACH 2 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm _lwp_detach .Nd detach a light-weight process .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n lwp.h .Ft int .Fn _lwp_detach "lwpid_t lwp" .Sh DESCRIPTION .Fn _lwp_detach causes a light-weight process to become detached, having the same effect as if the LWP was created with the .Dv LWP_DETACHED flag.

Conversely, an attached LWP's resources will not be reclaimed until its status is reported to another LWP via .Xr _lwp_wait 2 . .Sh RETURN VALUES .Rv -std _lwp_detach .Sh ERRORS l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINVAL The LWP is already detached. t Bq Er ESRCH No LWP can be found in the current process corresponding to that specified by .Fa lwp . .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr _lwp_create 2 , .Xr _lwp_wait 2 .Sh HISTORY The .Fn _lwp_detach system call first appeared in .Nx 5.0 .
