lua_newthread: is this essentially creating a coroutine?

[Edwin Eyan Moragas <haaktu@...>]

Hi guys,

does lua_newthread create a new thread (OS thread)
or does it create a coroutine pushed to the existing
lua state?

what i'm trying to find out is if this new lua thread
created by lua_newthread will block other
existing lua threads (ie, coroutines).
