Tcl package Thread source code

This section describes commands for creating and destroying threads
and sending scripts to threads for evaluation\&.
.TP
\fBthread::create\fR ?-joinable? ?-preserved? ?script?
This command creates a thread that contains a Tcl interpreter\&.
The Tcl interpreter either evaluates the optional \fBscript\fR, if
specified, or it waits in the event loop for scripts that arrive via
the \fBthread::send\fR command\&. The result, if any, of the
optional \fBscript\fR is never returned to the caller\&.


The result of \fBthread::create\fR is the ID of the thread\&. This is
the opaque handle which identifies the newly created thread for
all other package commands\&. The handle of the thread goes out of scope
automatically when thread is marked for exit
(see the \fBthread::release\fR command below)\&.
.sp
If the optional \fBscript\fR argument contains the \fBthread::wait\fR

This section describes commands for creating and destroying threads

.TP
\fBthread::create\fR ?-joinable? ?-preserved? ?script?
This command creates a thread that contains a Tcl interpreter\&.
The Tcl interpreter either evaluates the optional \fBscript\fR, if
specified, or it waits in the event loop for scripts that arrive via
the \fBthread::send\fR command\&. Both of them would take place simultaneously
with the return of command \fBthread::create\fR to the caller thread\&.
Neither the caller is waiting for the finishing of optional \fBscript\fR,
nor the result, if any, of the \fBscript\fR is returned to the caller\&.
The result of \fBthread::create\fR is the ID of the thread\&. This is
the opaque handle which identifies the newly created thread for
all other package commands\&. The handle of the thread goes out of scope
automatically when thread is marked for exit
(see the \fBthread::release\fR command below)\&.
