Description:

[ Compact ]
public class Thread<T>

The Thread struct represents a running thread.

This struct is returned by g_thread_new or g_thread_try_new. You can obtain the Thread struct representing the current thread by calling self.

GThread is refcounted, see g_thread_ref and g_thread_unref. The thread represented by it holds a reference while it is running, and join consumes the reference that it is given, so it is normally not necessary to manage GThread references explicitly.

The structure is opaque -- none of its fields may be directly accessed.
