If you call os.pullEvent() in a coroutine, what does coroutine.resume() return?

What does coroutine.resume() return? And what does it mean?

From Lua's documentation on coroutine.resume:
os.pullEvent just passes off it's arguments to coroutine.yield, so you'll either receive true plus the optional filter, or false and an error message.If the coroutine runs without any errors, resume returns true plus any values passed to yield (when the coroutine yields) or any values returned by the body function (when the coroutine terminates). If there is any error, resume returns false plus the error message.

Ah, thats where that true comes from! Thanks!From Lua's documentation on coroutine.resume:os.pullEvent just passes off it's arguments to coroutine.yield, so you'll either receive true plus the optional filter, or false and an error message.If the coroutine runs without any errors, resume returns true plus any values passed to yield (when the coroutine yields) or any values returned by the body function (when the coroutine terminates). If there is any error, resume returns false plus the error message.

Does the os.pullEvent function just do
function os.pullEvent(filter)
local event, var1, var2, var3 = os.pullEventRaw(filter)
if event=="terminate" then
error("terminated")
end
return event, var1, var2, var3
end

I didn't expect that to be so close to the actual code :D/>, thanks for the file, there are some other interesting functions in there!Yes.Does the os.pullEvent function just do -snip-?

Yeah, I am aware of this. Its pretty damn useful, I just find it hard to wrap my head around what is done by the program, the OS or by the mod.You may find this useful too: http://www.computerc...stem-flowchart/
