C API Reference -- Ns_BeginDetachedThread

### Ns_BeginDetachedThread

#### Overview

Create a detached thread

#### Syntax

        int Ns_BeginDetachedThread(
        Ns_ThreadProc *start_routine,
        void *arg
        );

#### Description

Ns_BeginDetachedThread creates a thread which cleans up its data as soon as it ends. Note that detached threads' ids can be reused immediately by the system, and they cannot be waited on.

#### Examples

        static void
        ThreadStart(void *arg)
        {
        	int n;

        	n = (int) arg;
        	Ns_Log(Notice, "%d: %d", Ns_GetThreadId(), n);
        }

        /*
          * ManyThreads - Create 10 threads which all log a message.
          */
        static void
        ManyThreads(void)
        {
        	int i;

        	for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
        		Ns_BeginDetachedThread(ThreadStart, (void *) i);
        	}
        }
