| <P>These functions contain the code normally run via <B>dllMain</B> | |
| when the library is used as a dll but which need to be called | |
| explicitly by an application when the library is statically linked.</P> | |
| <P>You will need to call <B>pthread_win32_process_attach_np</B> | |
| before you can call any pthread routines when statically linking. You | |
| should call <B>pthread_win32_process_detach_np</B> before exiting | |
| your application to clean up.</P> | |
| <P><B>pthread_win32_thread_attach_np</B> is currently a no-op, but | |
| <B>pthread_win32_thread_detach_np</B> is needed to clean up the | |
| implicit pthread handle that is allocated to a Win32 thread if it | |
| calls certain pthreads routines. Call this routine when the Win32 | |
| thread exits.</P> | |
| <P>These functions invariably return TRUE except for | |
| <B>pthread_win32_process_attach_np</B> which will return FALSE if | |
| pthreads-w32 initialisation fails.</P> | |
