/*****************************************************************************
* FILE: detached.c
* DESCRIPTION:
*   This example demonstrates how to explicitly create a thread in a 
*   detached state. This might be done to conserve some system resources
*   if the thread never needs to join later. Compare with the join.c program
*   where the threads are created joinable.
