import (
    "fmt"
    work "github.com/scrapbird/gotowork"
)

func main () {
    // create the workerqueue
    workerQueue := make(work.WorkerQueue, 5)

    // create and start the workers
    workers := make([]work.Worker, 5)
    for i := range workers {
        workers[i] = work.NewWorker(i, workerQueue)
        workers[i].Start()
    }

    // add some jobs
    for i := 0; i < 5; i++ {
        // get a free worker
        worker := <-workerQueue
        // give it some work
        worker <- func () {
            fmt.Println("Hello")
        }
    }

    // tell the workers to stop waiting for work
    for i := range workers {
        workers[i].Stop()
    }

    // wait for the workers to quit
    for i := range workers {
        workers[i].WaitForFinish()
    }
}
