Struct std::thread::JoinHandle [−] [src]

pub struct JoinHandle<T>(_);

An owned permission to join on a thread (block on its termination).

Unlike a JoinGuard, a JoinHandle detaches the child thread when it is dropped, rather than automatically joining on drop.

Due to platform restrictions, it is not possible to Clone this handle: the ability to join a child thread is a uniquely-owned permission.

Methods

`impl<T> JoinHandle<T>`

`fn thread(&self) -> &Thread`

Extracts a handle to the underlying thread

`fn join(self) -> Result<T>`

Waits for the associated thread to finish.

If the child thread panics, Err is returned with the parameter given to panic.
