thread_tryjoin
It is forked from https://github.com/badboy/thread_tryjoin-rs
Ever needed to wait for a thread to finish, but thought you can still do work until it finishes?
JoinHandle#join()
waits for the thread to finish and is blocking, so it doesn't allow you to try again and again.
Luckily there is a non-portable pthread API:
pthread_tryjoin_np
This library provides convenient access through a try_join method on JoinHandle.
It only works on Linux though.
It uses JoinHandleExt to get to the underlying pthread_t handle.
Usage
[dependencies]

use std::time::Duration;

assert!(t.try_join().is_err());License
