Struct JoinHandle

pub struct JoinHandle<T> { /* private fields */ }

An owned permission to join on a task (await its termination).

This can be thought of as the equivalent of std::thread::JoinHandle for a task rather than a thread.

A JoinHandle detaches the associated task when it is dropped, which means that there is no longer any handle to the task, and no way to join on it.

This struct is created by the spawn function.

Implementations

impl<T> JoinHandle<T>

pub fn abort(&self)

Abort the task associated with the handle.

Awaiting a cancelled task might complete as usual if the task was already completed at the time it was cancelled, but most likely it will fail with a cancelled JoinError.

pub fn is_finished(&self) -> bool

Checks if the task associated with this JoinHandle has finished.

Please note that this method can return false even if abort has been called on the task. This is because the cancellation process may take some time, and this method does not return true until it has completed.

Trait Implementations

impl<T: Debug> Debug for JoinHandle<T>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T> Future for JoinHandle<T>

type Output = Result<T, JoinError>

The type of value produced on completion.

fn poll(self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Self::Output>

Attempts to resolve the future to a final value, registering the current task for wakeup if the value is not yet available.
