joinable threads are those threads that depend on other thread or creater threads to release their resources after completion .

detached threads are independent threads which does not depend on other threads for resource deallocation .These threads automatically release their resources once they terminates .

when pthread_exit() is called by deattach threads ,no pthread join is required to clean up the resources.

while in case of joinable threads when created threads executes pthreads_exit() its exit code is fetched by creater threads using pthreads_join() and its resource is deallocated .
