 * Name: pthread_detach
 *
 * Description:
 *    A thread object may be "detached" to specify that the return value
 *    and completion status will not be requested.
 *
 *    The caller's task/thread must belong to the same "task group" as the
 *    pthread is (or was) a member of.  The thread may or may not still
 *    be running.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   thread
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   0 if successful.  Otherwise, an error code.
 *
 * Assumptions:
 *
