Sorry if this is a newbish question but, can some one tell me in an easy way what the use of NSActor is for and what does it do?

A:
There is no such class listed in the documentation. Where did you see it, and why do you think you need it?

I found it here: http://github.com/kennytm/iphone-private-frameworks/tree/master/ActorKit/ I found it while looking at KennyTM's profile on SO and saw his website. There really isn't any need for it I'm just curious to know.

@thyrgle if it's just for curiosity, then cool. but FYI, if you try to use private api in an app, it will be rejected by Apple before a human ever looks at it (although I'm sure you're aware of this). :)

A:
It's a private class used internally by Apple. I have no idea what it does, but I would guess it's an implementation of the actor model for concurrency. If you don't know what it does, chances are you have no reason to use it, although it might be fun to experiment.
