22 * Coroutines are a mechanism for stack switching and can be used for
23 * cooperative userspace threading. These functions provide a simple but
24 * useful flavor of coroutines that is suitable for writing sequential code,
25 * rather than callbacks, for operations that need to give up control while
26 * waiting for events to complete.
28 * These functions are re-entrant and may be used outside the global mutex.

34 * Functions that execute in coroutine context cannot be called directly from
35 * normal functions. In the future it would be nice to enable compiler or
36 * static checker support for catching such errors. This annotation might make
37 * it possible and in the meantime it serves as documentation.
