Module yarn

multi threading library

Introduction

Yarn is a simple multithreading library. Threads are individual Lua states, so they do NOT share the same environment as the code that runs the thread. Bait and Commanders are shared though, so you can throw hooks from 1 thread to another.

Example:

1local yarn = require 'yarn'
2
3-- calling t will run the yarn thread.
4local t = yarn.thread(print)
5t 'printing from another lua state!'
