Method detach

src/com/sun/jna/Native.java:2499–2519

Indicate whether the JVM should detach the current native thread when the current Java code finishes execution. Generally this is used to avoid detaching native threads when it is known that a given thread will be relatively long-lived and call back to Java code frequentl

(boolean detach)

        called on a thread created by the JVM.
