:mrdocs:

Set the `detachedState` attribute of this object to the specified `value`. Return a non‐`const` reference to this object (see also {Fluent Interface}). A value of `e_CREATE_JOINABLE` (the default) indicates that a thread must be joined to clean up its resources after it terminates; a value of `e_CREATE_DETACHED` (the only other legal value) indicates that the resources will be cleaned up automatically upon thread termination, and that the thread must not be joined.
