	Starts a new thread with the given function.

Detailed Description

The implementation of a thread handler for working with threads.

Definition in file thread_handler.c.

Function Documentation

    thread_func_wrapper_t* arg = malloc(sizeof(thread_func_wrapper_t));
    if (!arg) return;// Fehlerbehandlung
    arg->func = thread_func;
 
    if (pthread_create(&thread, NULL, thread_wrapper, arg) == 0) {
        pthread_detach(thread);// Detach den Thread
    } else {
        free(arg);// Fehlerbehandlung
    }
}
