# wait_thread

Definition: | wait_thread(object hThread)
Description: | Wait for a thread or set of threads to terminate.
pwa/p2js: | Not supported.
Comments: | hThread can be an atom as returned by create_thread or a sequence of such. wait_thread() is preferred over polling with get_thread_exitcode()!=STILL_ACTIVE. An application should normally signal all threads to exit and use wait_thread() to let them do so before terminating itself.
Implementation: | See builtins\VM\pThreadN.e (an autoinclude) for details of the actual implementation.
