POSIX多线程编程(二)--pthread_join

To explicitly create a thread as joinable or detached, the  attr  argument in the  pthread_create()  routine is used. The typical 4 step process is:

1. Declare a pthread attribute variable of the pthread_attr_t data type
2. Initialize the attribute variable with pthread_attr_init()
3. Set the attribute detached status with pthread_attr_setdetachstate()
4. When done, free library resources used by the attribute with pthread_attr_destroy()
