(lwpid_t
lwp);
_lwp_detach
() causes a light-weight process to become
detached, having the same effect as if the LWP was created with the
LWP_DETACHED
flag.
The resources associated with a detached LWP will be automatically reclaimed by the system when the LWP exits. Conversely, an attached LWP's resources will not be reclaimed until its status is reported to another LWP via _lwp_wait(2).
_lwp_detach
() system call first appeared in
NetBSD 5.0.
