Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets

Detaches the calling process from its console.

Returns Windows error code or zero for success.

A process can be attached to at most one console. If the calling process is not already attached to a console, the error code returned is ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER (87).
A process can use the FreeConsole function to detach itself from its console. If other processes share the console, the console is not destroyed, but the process that called FreeConsole cannot refer to it. A console is closed when the last process attached to it terminates or calls FreeConsole. After a process calls FreeConsole, it can call the AllocConsole function to create a new console or AttachConsole to attach to another console.
