\fBPAPI_detach\fP is a wrapper function that calls \fBPAPI_set_opt\fP to allow PAPI to monitor performance counts on a thread other than the one currently executing\&. This is sometimes referred to as third party monitoring\&. \fBPAPI_attach\fP connects the specified EventSet to the specified thread; \fBPAPI_detach\fP breaks that connection and restores the EventSet to the original executing thread\&.
.PP
\fBParameters:\fP
.RS 4
\fIEventSet\fP An integer handle for a PAPI EventSet as created by \fBPAPI_create_eventset\fP\&. 
.br
\fItid\fP A thread id as obtained from, for example, \fBPAPI_list_threads\fP or \fBPAPI_thread_id\fP\&.

\fIPAPI_EINVAL\fP One or more of the arguments is invalid\&.
