s5curl_init_mt

NAME

s5curl_init_mt - initialises a resource for multithreaded operations

SYNOPSYS

s5curl_mt_t *s5curl_init_mt(int num_thread, s5curl_t *s5c)

DESCRIPTION

s5curl_init_mt() initialises a resource to be used by multithreaded read fetches. This resource is not thread safe but can be reused throughout the program by multiple calls.

This s5curl_mt_t should be freed by the user program using s5curl_free_mt().

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, s5curl_init_mt() returns a s5curl_mt_t pointer. Otherwise, NULL is returned and s5curl_errno is set to indicate the error.

EXAMPLES

#include <slow5curl/s5curl.h>

#define N_THREADS 10
#define BATCH_CAPACITY 100

int main () {

    // setup
    
    s5curl_mt_t *core = s5curl_init_mt(N_THREADS, s5c);
    if (!core) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Error opening connections.\n");
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    slow5_batch_t *db = slow5_init_batch(BATCH_CAPACITY);
    
    ret = s5curl_get_batch(core, db, read_ids, num_reads);

    slow5_free_batch(db);
    
    s5curl_free_mt(core);

    // cleanup
}
