# get_thread_exitcode

Definition: | atom dwExitCode = get_thread_exitcode(atom hThread)
Description: | Retrieve the exit code of a thread.
pwa/p2js: | Not supported.
Comments: | If the thread is still running, STILL_ACTIVE (=259) is returned. Hence a thread should not terminate with that value to avoid confusion. wait_thread() is preferred over polling with get_thread_exitcode()!=STILL_ACTIVE.
Implementation: | See builtins\VM\pThreadN.e (an autoinclude) for details of the actual implementation.
