Waithandle

A Rust library that makes signaling between threads a bit more ergonomic.

Uses Condvar and Mutex under the hood to block threads without consuming CPU time.

Usage

use std::sync::Arc;
use std::time::Duration;

// Create the signaler and the listener
let (signaler, listener) = waithandle::new();

// Signal a thread
signaler.signal()?;

// Did someone signal us?
if listener.check()? {
    println!("signal received");
}

// Wait for 5 seconds or until someone signals us
if listener.wait(Duration::from_secs(5))? {
    println!("signal received");
}

Running the example
