+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pthread_join
+.Nd wait for thread termination
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <pthread.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_join "pthread_t thread" "void **value_ptr"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pthread_join
+function suspends execution of the calling thread until the target
+.Fa thread
+terminates unless the target
+.Fa thread
+has already terminated.
+.Pp
+On return from a successful
+.Fn pthread_join
+call with a non-NULL
+.Fa value_ptr
+argument, the value passed to
+.Fn pthread_exit
+by the terminating thread is stored in the location referenced by
+.Fa value_ptr .
+When a
+.Fn pthread_join
+returns successfully, the target thread has been terminated. The results
+of multiple simultaneous calls to
+.Fn pthread_join
+specifying the same target thread are undefined. If the thread calling
+.Fn pthread_join
+is cancelled, then the target thread is not detached.
+.Pp
+A thread that has exited but remains unjoined counts against
+[_POSIX_THREAD_THREADS_MAX].
+.Pp
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If successful, the
+.Fn pthread_join
+function will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to
+indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn pthread_join
+will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The implementation has detected that the value specified by
+.Fa thread
+does not refer to a joinable thread.
+.It Bq Er ESRCH
+No thread could be found corresponding to that specified by the given
+thread ID,
+.Fa thread .
+.It Bq Er EDEADLK
+A deadlock was detected or the value of
+.Fa thread
+specifies the calling thread.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr pthread_create 3 ,
+.Xr wait 2
+.Sh STANDARDS
+.Fn pthread_join
+is expected to conform to IEEE
+.Pq Dq Tn POSIX
+Std 1003.1c when it is published.
