<H2><A HREF="#toc2" NAME="sect2">Description</A></H2>
<P><B>pthread_join</B> suspends the execution of the calling thread
until the thread identified by <I>th</I> terminates, either by
calling <A HREF="pthread_exit.html"><B>pthread_exit</B>(3)</A> or by
being cancelled. 
</P>
<P>If <I>thread_return</I> is not <B>NULL</B>, the return value of <I>th</I>
is stored in the location pointed to by <I>thread_return</I>. The
return value of <I>th</I> is either the argument it gave to
<A HREF="pthread_exit.html"><B>pthread_exit</B>(3)</A> , or
<B>PTHREAD_CANCELED</B> if <I>th</I> was cancelled. 
</P>
<P>The joined thread <B>th</B> must be in the joinable state: it must
not have been detached using <A HREF="pthread_detach.html"><B>pthread_detach</B>(3)</A>
or the <B>PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED</B> attribute to <A HREF="pthread_create.html"><B>pthread_create</B>(3)</A>
. 
</P>
<P>When a joinable thread terminates, its memory resources (thread
descriptor and stack) are not deallocated until another thread
performs <B>pthread_join</B> on it. Therefore, <B>pthread_join</B>
must be called once for each joinable thread created to avoid memory
leaks. 
</P>
<P>At most one thread can wait for the termination of a given thread.
Calling <B>pthread_join</B> on a thread <I>th</I> on which another
thread is already waiting for termination returns an error. 
</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Cancellation</A></H2>
<P><B>pthread_join</B> is a cancellation point. If a thread is
cancelled while suspended in <B>pthread_join</B>, the thread
execution resumes immediately and the cancellation is executed
without waiting for the <I>th</I> thread to terminate. If
cancellation occurs during <B>pthread_join</B>, the <I>th</I> thread
remains not joined. 
</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc4" NAME="sect4">Return Value</A></H2>
<P>On success, the return value of <I>th</I> is stored in the
location pointed to by <I>thread_return</I>, and 0 is returned. On
error, a non-zero error code is returned. 
</P>
