lua_status

lua_status[-0, +0, –]

int lua_status (lua_State *L);

Returns the status of the thread L.

The status can be 0 (LUA_OK) for a normal thread, an error code if the thread finished the execution of a lua_resume with an error, or LUA_YIELD if the thread is suspended.

You can only call functions in threads with status LUA_OK. You can resume threads with status LUA_OK (to start a new coroutine) or LUA_YIELD (to resume a coroutine).
