thread_tryjoin

It is forked from https://github.com/badboy/thread_tryjoin-rs

Ever needed to wait for a thread to finish, but thought you can still do work until it finishes?

JoinHandle#join() waits for the thread to finish and is blocking, so it doesn't allow you to try again and again.

Luckily there is a non-portable pthread API: pthread_tryjoin_np

This library provides convenient access through a try_join method on JoinHandle. It only works on Linux though.

It uses JoinHandleExt to get to the underlying pthread_t handle.

Usage

toml [dependencies] thread_tryjoin = "0.2"

Example

```rust use std::time::Duration; use std::thread; use thread_tryjoin::TryJoinHandle;

let t = thread::spawn(|| { thread::sleep(Duration::fromsecs(1)); }); assert!(t.tryjoin().is_err()); ```
