The results +of multiple simultaneous calls to +.Fn pthread_join +specifying the same target thread are undefined. If the thread calling +.Fn pthread_join +is cancelled, then the target thread is not detached. +.Pp +A thread that has exited but remains unjoined counts against +[_POSIX_THREAD_THREADS_MAX]. +.Pp +.Sh RETURN VALUES +If successful, the +.Fn pthread_join +function will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to +indicate the error. +.Sh ERRORS +.Fn pthread_join +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 . +.It Bq Er EDEADLK +A deadlock was detected or the value of +.Fa thread +specifies the calling thread. +.El +.Pp +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr pthreads 3 , +.Xr wait 2 , +.Xr pthread_create 3 +.Sh STANDARDS +.Fn pthread_join +conforms to ISO/IEC 9945-1 ANSI/IEEE +.Pq Dq Tn POSIX +Std 1003.1 Second Edition 1996-07-12. |
