How to implement the Listener thread

Listener thread is maintained at server side :

I have Implemented as:

 /* specify queue */
 listen\(sockfd, 5\);

 while \(1\) \{
     clilen = sizeof\(cli_addr\);
     newsockfd = accept\(sockfd,
           \(struct sockaddr *\) &cli_addr, &clilen\);
     if \(newsockfd &lt; 0\)
         error\("ERROR on accept"\);

     /* create a new thread to process incoming request */
     printf\("Create thread \\n"\);
     ret = pthread_create\(&thr, NULL, dostuff, \(void *\)newsockfd\);
     //printf\("ret=%d\\n", ret\);
     pthread_detach\(thr\);

     /* the server is now free to accept another socket request */
 \} /* end of while */

Is it correct?
