pthread_join(2) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
• Compile the application using the _PUT_MODEL_ feature test macro or equivalent
compiler command option.
• Link the application to the zputdll library (/G/system/zdllnnn/zputdll).
On systems running H06.24 or later H-series RVUs or J06.13 or later J-series RVUs, you can use
the POSIX User Thread Model library with 32-bit or 64-bit threaded applications.
To use this function in a 32-bit threaded application that uses the POSIX User Thread Model
library on systems running H06.24 or later RVUs or J06.13 or later RVUs, perform the same
tasks (described above) used to enable the POSIX User Thread Model library on systems running
H06.21/J06.10 or later RVUs.
To use this function in a 64-bit threaded application that uses the POSIX User Thread Model
library on systems running H06.24 or later RVUs or J06.13 or later RVUs, you must perform all
of the following tasks:
• Include the pthread.h header file in the application.
• Compile the application using the _PUT_MODEL_ feature test macro or equivalent
compiler command option.
• Compile the application using the -Wlp64 compiler command option.
• Link the application to the yputdll library (/G/system/zdllnnn/yputdll).
To use this function in a threaded application that uses the Standard POSIX Threads library on
systems running H06.21 or later RVUs or J06.10 or later RVUs, you must perform all of the fol-
lowing tasks:
• Include the spthread.h header file in the application.
• Compile the application using the _SPT_MODEL_ feature test macro or equivalent
compiler command option.
• Link the application to the zsptdll library (/G/system/zdllnnn/zsptdll).
NOTES
If more than one thread attempts to join with the same thread, the results are unpredictable.
RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this function returns an integer value indicating the type of error.
Possible return values are:
0 Successful completion.
[EDEADLK] A deadlock was detected, or the thread parameter specifies the calling thread.
[EINVAL] The thread parameter does not specify a joinable thread.
[ESRCH] The thread parameter does not specify an existing thread identifier.
