THIS_THREAD(3em)

πŸ“¦ version 1.0.3, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– this_thread(3em) β€” bestie edition πŸ’–

okay so this is the this_thread page from the this_thread section of the manual (that's the 3em bit, iykyk) β€” it's the Emilua bindings for C++'s this_thread, and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

this_thread β€” the Emilua bindings for C++'s this_thread. that's it, that's the whole vibe πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's how you actually pull it into your code, no cap:

local this_thread = require 'this_thread'

this_thread.yield()

so you require it first (obvi) and then you can call this_thread.yield(). slay ✨


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so this_thread.yield() provides a hint to the implementation to reschedule the execution of threads, which β€” and this is the whole point β€” allows other threads to run. it's giving "step aside, let the other girls have their moment" energy πŸ‘‘

notice it's a hint, not a promise, bestie. the implementation gets the message and does its thing. that's the entire function. short, sweet, ate πŸ’…πŸ”₯


πŸŽ€ friendly reminder that this page covers exactly what's written here β€” no extra lore, no invented behaviour. short king of a manpage, fr fr.

and that's the whole page!! 🌈 written against Emilua 0.12.1, dated the very mysterious 1980-01-01 (yes really, don't ask πŸ’€), and that's the sign-off bestie β€” go yield responsibly πŸ§šπŸ’œβ­β­
