# Type Definition std::thread::Result 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    type Result<T> = Result<T, Box<Any + Send + 'static>>;

A specialized `Result` type for threads.

Indicates the manner in which a thread exited.

A thread that completes without panicking is considered to exit successfully.

# Examples

    use std::thread;
    use std::fs;

    fn copy_in_thread() -> thread::Result<()> {
        thread::spawn(move || { fs::copy("foo.txt", "bar.txt").unwrap(); }).join()
    }

    fn main() {
        match copy_in_thread() {
            Ok(_) => println!("this is fine"),
            Err(_) => println!("thread panicked"),
        }
    }Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
