rustHow to abort a thread in Rust?

Threads in Rust can be aborted using the std::thread::Thread::unpark method. This method will cause the thread to terminate immediately.

Example code

use std::thread;

let handle = thread::spawn(|| {
    println!("Hello from the spawned thread!");
});

handle.unpark();

Output example

Hello from the spawned thread!

The code above creates a new thread using the thread::spawn method and then calls the unpark method on the thread handle to abort the thread.
