Example Active Object (Cont.)

Initializing a file handler object:

file_handler_t file_handler_init()
{
  struct file_handler_data* fh =
    (struct file_handler_data*)
      malloc(sizeof(struct file_handler_data));
  fh->q = q_alloc();
  pthread_create(&fh->intern_thread, NULL,
                 intern_thread_func, fh->q);

  return fh;
}
