<h4>Description</h4>
<pre>threaded_wait(Term)
threaded_wait([Term| Terms])</pre>
<p>
Suspends the thread making the call until a notification is received that unifies with <code>Term</code>. The call must be made within the same object (<em>this</em>) containing the calls to the <code>threaded_notify/1</code> predicate that will eventually send the notification. The argument may also be a list of notifications, <code>[Term| Terms]</code>. In this case, the thread making the call will suspend until all notifications in the list are received.
</p>
<h4>Template and modes</h4>

threaded_wait(+list(term))</pre>
<h4>Errors</h4>
<blockquote>
