Generates the base configuration for spawning a thread, from which configuration methods can be chained.

Examples

use std::thread;

let builder = thread::Builder::new()
                              .name("foo".into())
                              .stack_size(10);

let handler = builder.spawn(|| {
    // thread code
}).unwrap();

handler.join().unwrap();

Names the thread-to-be. Currently the name is used for identification only in panic messages.

Examples

use std::thread;

let builder = thread::Builder::new()
    .name("foo".into());

let handler = builder.spawn(|| {
    assert_eq!(thread::current().name(), Some("foo"))
}).unwrap();

handler.join().unwrap();

Sets the size of the stack for the new thread.

Examples

use std::thread;

let builder = thread::Builder::new().stack_size(10);

Spawns a new thread, and returns a join handle for it.

The child thread may outlive the parent (unless the parent thread is the main thread; the whole process is terminated when the main thread finishes). The join handle can be used to block on termination of the child thread, including recovering its panics.

Errors

Unlike the spawn free function, this method yields an io::Result to capture any failure to create the thread at the OS level.

Examples

use std::thread;

let builder = thread::Builder::new();

let handler = builder.spawn(|| {
    // thread code
}).unwrap();

handler.join().unwrap();

Formats the value using the given formatter.
