<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. As of version 2.9.0, the static library built using either MSC or GCC includes RT hooks which will call the pthread_win32_process_*_np routines automatically on start/exit of the application.</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>

they fail.</P>
