Value members

Concrete methods

Register a shutdown hook to be run when the VM exits.

Register a shutdown hook to be run when the VM exits. The hook is automatically registered: the returned value can be ignored, but is available in case the Thread requires further modification. It can also be unregistered by calling ShutdownHookThread#remove().

Note that shutdown hooks are NOT guaranteed to be run.

Value parameters:
body

Returns:

the Thread which will run the shutdown hook.
