# 7.26.1.24. `grn_thread_*`

## 7.26.1.24.1. Summary

Groonga provides thread related APIs with `grn_thread_` prefix.

Normally, you don’t need to use these APIs.

You may want to use these APIs when you write a Groonga server.

## 7.26.1.24.2. Example

Here is a real word use case of `grn_thread_*` APIs by groonga executable file. groonga executable file increases its thread pool size when the max number of threads is increased. groonga executable file decreases its thread pool size and stops too many threads when the max number of threads is decreased.

    static grn_mutex q_mutex;
    static grn_cond q_cond;
    static uint32_t nfthreads;
    static uint32_t max_nfthreads;

    static uint32_t
    groonga_get_thread_limit(void *data)
    {
      return max_nfthreads;
    }

    static void
    groonga_set_thread_limit(uint32_t new_limit, void *data)
    {
      uint32_t i;
      uint32_t current_nfthreads;

      MUTEX_LOCK(q_mutex);
      current_nfthreads = nfthreads;
      max_nfthreads = new_limit;
      MUTEX_UNLOCK(q_mutex);

      if (current_nfthreads > new_limit) {
        for (i = 0; i < current_nfthreads; i++) {
          MUTEX_LOCK(q_mutex);
          COND_SIGNAL(q_cond);
          MUTEX_UNLOCK(q_mutex);
        }
      }
    }

    int
    main(int argc, char *argv)
    {
      /* ... */
      grn_thread_set_get_limit_func(groonga_get_thread_limit, NULL);
      grn_thread_set_set_limit_func(groonga_set_thread_limit, NULL);

      grn_init();

      /* ... */
    }
