## Concurrency
The command line switch `-w --workers` if set to a value greater than one allows to use
multiple concurrent workers to execute an operation. It can be applied to the following
commands:
* `install`
* `compare`
* `update`
It should be set to a maximum of the number of cores available (usually returned
on linux by the command `nproc`).
It may speed up the operation but cannot be used interractively (it needs `-f --force` to be set)
and cannot be used with `-d --dry`. Also information printed to stdout/stderr will
probably be messed up.
**WARNING** this feature hasn't been extensively tested and is to be used at your own risk.
If you try it out and find any issue, please [open an issue](https://github.com/deadc0de6/dotdrop/issues).
Also if you find it useful and have been able to successfully speed up your operation when using
`-w --workers`, do please also report it [in an issue](https://github.com/deadc0de6/dotdrop/issues).
