--- creating and controlling coroutines.
-- @module coroutine

local coroutine = {}

---
-- Creates a new coroutine, with body `f`. `f` must be a Lua
-- function. Returns this new coroutine, an object with type `"thread"`.
function coroutine.create(f) end

---
-- Starts or continues the execution of coroutine `co`. The first time
-- you resume a coroutine, it starts running its body. The values
-- ... are passed as the arguments to the body function. If the coroutine
-- has yielded, `resume` restarts it; the values  ... are passed
-- as the results from the yield.
-- If the coroutine runs without any errors, `resume` returns true plus any
-- values passed to `yield` (if the coroutine yields) or any values returned
-- by the body function (if the coroutine terminates). If there is any error,
-- `resume` returns false plus the error message.
function coroutine.resume(co , ...) end

---
-- Returns the running coroutine. Or nil when called by the main thread.
function coroutine.running() end

---
-- Returns the status of coroutine `co`. Result is a string: `"running"`, if
-- the coroutine is running (that is, it called `status`); `"suspended"`, if
-- the coroutine is suspended in a call to `yield`, or if it has not started
-- running yet; `"normal"` if the coroutine is active but not running (that
-- is, it has resumed another coroutine); and `"dead"` if the coroutine has
-- finished its body function, or if it has stopped with an error.
function coroutine.status(co) end

---
-- Creates a new coroutine, with body `f`. `f` must be a Lua
-- function. Returns a function that resumes the coroutine each time it is
-- called. Any arguments passed to the function behave as the extra arguments to
-- `resume`. Returns the same values returned by `resume`, except the first
-- boolean. In case of error, propagates the error.
function coroutine.wrap(f) end

---
-- Suspends the execution of the calling coroutine. The coroutine cannot
-- be running a C function, a metamethod, or an iterator. Any arguments to
-- `yield` are passed as extra results to `resume`.
function coroutine.yield(...) end
