A Janos Thread. java.lang.Thread is not visible to threads running on the NodeOS.

A Janos thread is never explicitly created by a Protocol, only implicitly by ThreadGroups.

Node.threadStart()

   private NativeThread nThread

The java.lang.Thread this Janos thread is implemented on top of.

This is just a cheap hack until we get the native support working correctly.

   private Object obj

Per-thread state.

This is part of the NodeOS spec. Probably doesn't need to be part of the Java-level interface (users of this should just subclass Janos Thread).

   private final ThreadPool tPool

The ThreadPool this thread is a part of.

Constructors

   Thread(ThreadPool tPool) 

For creating an implicit thread.

   public Flow getFlow() 

   public static void yieldTo(Thread yieldTo) 

The mighty directed yield.

The scheduler may honor the argument. Or it may laugh at your suggestion and put the target thread in a black hole just to spite you.

Parameter	Description
yieldTo	the thread that should be run in deference to the current thread.

   public static void yield() 

An undirected yield.

Equivalent to yield(null).

   public static void sleep(long millis, 
                            int nanos)  throws InterruptedException

Put the current thread to sleep for at least the given amount of time.
