// A Tomb tracks the lifecycle of a goroutine as alive, dying or dead,
39
// and the reason for its death.
41
// The zero value of a Tomb assumes that a goroutine is about to be
42
// created or already alive. Once Kill or Killf is called with an
43
// argument that informs the reason for death, the goroutine is in
44
// a dying state and is expected to terminate soon. Right before the
45
// goroutine function or method returns, Done must be called to inform
46
// that the goroutine is indeed dead and about to stop running.
48
// A Tomb exposes Dying and Dead channels. These channels are closed
49
// when the Tomb state changes in the respective way. They enable
50
// explicit blocking until the state changes, and also to selectively
51
// unblock select statements accordingly.
53
// When the tomb state changes to dying and there's still logic going
54
// on within the goroutine, nested functions and methods may choose to
55
// return ErrDying as their error value, as this error won't alter the
56
// tomb state if provied to the Kill method. This is a convenient way to
57
// follow standard Go practices in the context of a dying tomb.
59
// For background and a detailed example, see the following blog post:
61
// http://blog.labix.org/2011/10/09/death-of-goroutines-under-control
63
// For a more complex code snippet demonstrating the use of multiple
64
// goroutines with a single Tomb, see:
