<p>Threads are represented via the <code>Thread</code> type, which you can get in one of
two ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>By spawning a new thread, e.g. using the <a href="../../std/thread/fn.spawn.html"><code>thread::spawn</code></a>
function, and calling <a href="../../std/thread/struct.JoinHandle.html#method.thread"><code>thread</code></a> on the
<a href="../../std/thread/struct.JoinHandle.html"><code>JoinHandle</code></a>.</li>
<li>By requesting the current thread, using the <a href="../../std/thread/fn.current.html"><code>thread::current</code></a> function.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="../../std/thread/fn.current.html"><code>thread::current</code></a> function is available even for threads not spawned
by the APIs of this module.</p>
<p>There is usually no need to create a <code>Thread</code> struct yourself, one
should instead use a function like <code>spawn</code> to create new threads, see the
docs of <a href="../../std/thread/struct.Builder.html"><code>Builder</code></a> and <a href="../../std/thread/fn.spawn.html"><code>spawn</code></a> for more details.</p>

used as a more CPU-efficient implementation of a spinlock.</p>
