# Threadpool in C

A very basic thread pool implementation in C. 

## Instructions

```bash

./build.sh

./bin/tpool-example

```

Send SIGUSR1 signal to add a task to the pool.

**Note:** This is a very basic implementation, more features will be added in the near future.

## Usage

Include the `src/tpool.h` file into your project, and add `src/tpool.c` during compilation.

1. Creating a thread pool

```c

int tpool_init(tpool *pool, size_t thread_count);

```

2. Adding a task to the pool

```c

ssize_t tpool_add_task(tpool *pool, void* (*start_routine)(void*), void* args);

```

**returns:** -1 on error, otherwise gives the assigned `task id`

3. Destroying thread pool

```c

int tpool_destroy(tpool *pool);

```
