Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value otherwise. If the optionally specified `status` is not 0, load into `*status` the value returned by the function supplied at the creation of the thread identified by `threadHandle`. The behavior is undefined unless `threadHandle` was obtained by a call to `create`. == Synopsis Declared in `<bslmt_threadutil.h>` [source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"] ---- static int join( xref:BloombergLP/bslmt/ThreadUtil/Handle.adoc[Handle]& threadHandle, void** status = 0); ---- [.small]#Created with https://www.mrdocs.com[MrDocs]#
