+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pthread_detach
+.Nd detach a thread
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <pthread.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_detach "pthread_t thread"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pthread_detach
+function is used to indicate to the implementation that storage for the
+thread
+.Fa thread
+can be reclaimed when the thread terminates. If
+.Fa thread
+has not terminated,
+.Fn pthread_detach
+will not cause it to terminate. The effect of multiple 
+.Fn pthread_detach
+calls on the same target thread is unspecified.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If successful,  the
+.Fn pthread_detach
+function will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to
+indicate the error. Note that the function does not change the value
+of errno as it did for some drafts of the standard. These early drafts
+also passed a pointer to pthread_t as the argument. Beware!
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn pthread_detach
+will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The implementation has detected that the value specified by
+.Fa thread
+does not refer to a joinable thread.
+.It Bq Er ESRCH
+No thread could be found corresponding to that specified by the given
+thread ID,
+.Fa thread .
