Yes, exactly. Coroutines are one possible implementation of green threads. Once they are scheduled/loaded on an OS thread, they behave just like regular functions with their own call stack. This means they can indeed call blocking operations at the OS level. A possible approach to handle such operations would be to wrap the blocking call, suspend the coroutine, and then resume it once the operation is complete, perhaps by polling(checking for completion).
