ConvertThreadToFiber

The ConvertTheadToFiber function converts the current thread into a fiber. You must convert a thread into a fiber before you can schedule other fibers.

LPVOID ConvertThreadToFiber(

LPVOID lpParameter // fiber data for new fiber
);  

Parameters

lpParameter

Specifies a single variable that is passed to the fiber. The fiber can retrieve this value by using the GetFiberData function.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is the address of the fiber.

If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Only fibers can execute other fibers. If a thread needs to execute a fiber, it must call ConvertThreadToFiber to create an area in which to save fiber state information. The thread is now the current fiber. The state information for this fiber includes the fiber data specified by lpParameter.
