  28. // The tomb package offers a conventional API for clean goroutine termination.
  29. //
  30. // A Tomb tracks the lifecycle of a goroutine as alive, dying or dead,
  31. // and the reason for its death.
  32. //
  33. // The zero value of a Tomb assumes that a goroutine is about to be
  34. // created or already alive. Once Kill or Killf is called with an
  35. // argument that informs the reason for death, the goroutine is in
  36. // a dying state and is expected to terminate soon. Right before the
  37. // goroutine function or method returns, Done must be called to inform
  38. // that the goroutine is indeed dead and about to stop running.
  39. //
  40. // A Tomb exposes Dying and Dead channels. These channels are closed
  41. // when the Tomb state changes in the respective way. They enable
  42. // explicit blocking until the state changes, and also to selectively
  43. // unblock select statements accordingly.
  44. //
  45. // When the tomb state changes to dying and there's still logic going
  46. // on within the goroutine, nested functions and methods may choose to
  47. // return ErrDying as their error value, as this error won't alter the
  48. // tomb state if provied to the Kill method. This is a convenient way to
  49. // follow standard Go practices in the context of a dying tomb.
  50. //
  51. // For background and a detailed example, see the following blog post:
  52. //
  53. // http://blog.labix.org/2011/10/09/death-of-goroutines-under-control
  54. //
  55. // For a more complex code snippet demonstrating the use of multiple
  56. // goroutines with a single Tomb, see:
