## Overview

This library provides a simple thread pool and enables running functions in the background.



## Usage

```c

#include "threadpool.h"

#include 

#include 

static void do_in_background(void *);

int main()

{

  printf("Library Examples:\n");

  struct ThreadPool *pool = threadpool_new();

  int               loops    = 100;

  int               parallel = 100;

  for (int loop = 0; loop < loops; loop++)

  {

    for (int index = 0; index < parallel; index++)

    {

      char *args = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * 100);

      sprintf(args, "loop: %d sub loop: %d", loop, index);

      // invoke function in the background

      threadpool_invoke(pool, do_in_background, args);

    }

    // block until all threads finished processing all requests

    threadpool_block(pool);

  }

  // Once done, release the pool.

  // This will block until all threads are done.

  threadpool_release(pool);

  return(0);

}

static void do_in_background(void *args)

{

  printf("In thread, args: %s\n", (char *)args);

}

```
