lua_resume

lua_resume[-?, +?, –]

int lua_resume (lua_State *L, lua_State *from, int nargs);

Starts and resumes a coroutine in the given thread L.

To start a coroutine, you push onto the thread stack the main function plus any arguments; then you call lua_resume, with nargs being the number of arguments. This call returns when the coroutine suspends or finishes its execution. When it returns, the stack contains all values passed to lua_yield, or all values returned by the body function. lua_resume returns LUA_YIELD if the coroutine yields, LUA_OK if the coroutine finishes its execution without errors, or an error code in case of errors (see lua_pcall).

In case of errors, the stack is not unwound, so you can use the debug API over it. The error object is on the top of the stack.

To resume a coroutine, you remove any results from the last lua_yield, put on its stack only the values to be passed as results from yield, and then call lua_resume.

The parameter from represents the coroutine that is resuming L. If there is no such coroutine, this parameter can be NULL.
