# Threads
Tomo supports POSIX threads (pthreads) through the `Thread` type. The
recommended practice is to have each thread interact with other threads only
through thread-safe Channels with no other shared data.
## Thread Methods
### `new`
**Description:**
Creates a new thread to execute a specified function.
**Usage:**
```tomo
Thread.new(fn: func(->Void) -> Thread)
```
**Parameters:**
- `fn`: The function to be executed by the new thread.
**Returns:**
A new `Thread` object representing the created thread.
**Example:**
```tomo
>> jobs := |Int|
>> results := |Int|
>> thread := Thread.new(func():
while yes:
input := jobs:get()
results:give(input + 10
)
= Thread<0x12345678>
>> jobs:give(10)
>> results:get()
= 11
```
---
### `cancel`
**Description:**
Requests the cancellation of a specified thread.
**Usage:**
```tomo
cancel(thread: Thread)
```
**Parameters:**
- `thread`: The thread to cancel.
**Returns:**
Nothing.
**Example:**
```tomo
>> thread:cancel()
```
---
### `join`
**Description:**
Waits for a specified thread to terminate.
**Usage:**
```tomo
join(thread: Thread)
```
**Parameters:**
- `thread`: The thread to join.
**Returns:**
Nothing.
**Example:**
```tomo
>> thread:join()
```
---
### `detach`
**Description:**
Detaches a specified thread, allowing it to run independently.
**Usage:**
```tomo
detach(thread: Thread)
```
**Parameters:**
- `thread`: The thread to detach.
**Returns:**
Nothing.
**Example:**
```tomo
>> thread:detach()
```
