| 4 | SYNTAX |
| 5 | /* function */ |
| 6 | async <modifiers> <type> name ( <arguments> ) |
| 7 | { |
| 8 | statements... |
| 9 | } |
| 10 | |
| 11 | /* inline closure */ |
| 12 | async function <type> ( ) : <context> |
| 13 | { |

| 17 | DESCRIPTION |
| 18 | The async modifer turns a function or inline closure into a coroutine. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | If the function is called it will immediately return a coroutine |
| 21 | object that will represent the remainder of the function's execution. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The inline closure notation will not result in a closure, but a |
| 24 | coroutine object. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | HISTORY |
| 27 | Coroutines were introduced in LDMud 3.6.5. |
