Java有一种特殊的线程，称为守护线程。

非常低的优先级。 仅在同一程序没有其他线程正在运行时执行。 当守护线程结束时，JVM结束程序，完成这些线程 程序中运行的唯一线程。

守护线程用于什么?

通常用作普通线程的服务提供者。 通常有一个等待服务请求或执行线程任务的无限循环。 他们不能做重要的工作。(因为我们不知道它们什么时候会有CPU时间，如果没有任何其他线程在运行，它们可以在任何时间完成。)

这类线程的一个典型示例是Java垃圾收集器。

在调用start()方法之前，只能调用setDaemon()方法。线程运行后，就不能修改它的守护进程状态。 使用isDaemon()方法检查线程是守护线程还是用户线程。

Daemon thread is like daemon process which is responsible for managing resources,a daemon thread is created by the Java VM to serve the user threads. example updating system for unix,unix is daemon process. child of daemon thread is always daemon thread,so by default daemon is false.you can check thread as daemon or user by using "isDaemon()" method. so daemon thread or daemon process are basically responsible for managing resources. for example when you starting jvm there is garbage collector running that is daemon thread whose priority is 1 that is lowest,which is managing memory. jvm is alive as long as user thread is alive,u can not kill daemon thread.jvm is responsible to kill daemon threads.

守护线程类似于助手线程。非daemon线程就像前面的表演者。助手帮助表演者完成一项工作。工作完成后，执行者不再需要帮助来执行。由于不需要帮助，助手们离开了这个地方。因此，当非守护线程的任务结束时，守护线程就会离开。

守护进程： d（isk） a（nd） e（xecution） mon（itor） or or from de（vice） mon（itor）

Daemon(计算)的定义:

处理打印假脱机和文件传输等服务请求的后台进程，在不需要时处于休眠状态。

Java中的守护线程是什么?

Daemon threads can shut down any time in between their flow, Non-Daemon i.e. user thread executes completely. Daemon threads are threads that run intermittently in the background as long as other non-daemon threads are running. When all of the non-daemon threads complete, daemon threads terminates automatically. Daemon threads are service providers for user threads running in the same process. The JVM does not care about daemon threads to complete when in Running state, not even finally block also let execute. JVM do give preference to non-daemon threads that is created by us. Daemon threads acts as services in Windows. The JVM stops the daemon threads when all user threads (in contrast to the daemon threads) are terminated. Hence daemon threads can be used to implement, for example, a monitoring functionality as the thread is stopped by the JVM as soon as all user threads have stopped.

对我来说，守护线程就像用户线程的管家。 如果所有用户线程都已完成，守护进程线程就没有任务 JVM杀死。 我在YouTube视频里解释过了。

守护线程是在后台执行一些任务的线程，比如处理请求或应用程序中可能存在的各种chronjob。

当你的程序只剩下守护线程时，它将退出。这是因为这些线程通常与普通线程一起工作，并提供事件的后台处理。

你可以使用setDaemon方法指定一个线程是守护线程，它们通常不会退出，也不会被中断。当应用程序停止时，它们就会停止。
