 ## 🛠 How to use
-Just take a imagination that your program starts a massive number of goroutines, resulting in a huge consumption of memory. To mitigate that kind of situation, all you need to do is to import `ants` package and submit all your tasks to a default pool with fixed capacity, activated when package `ants` is imported:
+Check out [the examples](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2#pkg-examples) for basic usage.
+
+### Functional options for pool
+
+`ants.Options`contains all optional configurations of the ants pool, which allows you to customize the goroutine pool by invoking option functions to set up each configuration in `NewPool`/`NewPoolWithFunc`/`NewPoolWithFuncGeneric` method.
+
+Check out [ants.Options](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2#Options) and [ants.Option](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2#Option) for more details.
+
+### Customize pool capacity
+
+`ants` supports customizing the capacity of the pool. You can call the `NewPool` method to instantiate a `Pool` with a given capacity, as follows:
 
 ``` go
-package main
-
-import (
-	"fmt"
-	"sync"
-	"sync/atomic"
-	"time"
-
-	"github.com/panjf2000/ants/v2"
-)
-
-var sum int32
-
-func myFunc(i interface{}) {
-	n := i.(int32)
-	atomic.AddInt32(&sum, n)
-	fmt.Printf("run with %d\n", n)
-}
-
-func demoFunc() {
-	time.Sleep(10 * time.Millisecond)
-	fmt.Println("Hello World!")
-}
-
-func main() {
-	defer ants.Release()
-
-	runTimes := 1000
-
-	// Use the common pool.
-	var wg sync.WaitGroup
-	syncCalculateSum := func() {
-		demoFunc()
-		wg.Done()
-	}
-	for i := 0; i < runTimes; i++ {
-		wg.Add(1)
-		_ = ants.Submit(syncCalculateSum)
-	}
-	wg.Wait()
-	fmt.Printf("running goroutines: %d\n", ants.Running())
-	fmt.Printf("finish all tasks.\n")
-
-	// Use the pool with a function,
-	// set 10 to the capacity of goroutine pool and 1 second for expired duration.
-	p, _ := ants.NewPoolWithFunc(10, func(i interface{}) {
-		myFunc(i)
-		wg.Done()
-	})
-	defer p.Release()
-	// Submit tasks one by one.
-	for i := 0; i < runTimes; i++ {
-		wg.Add(1)
-		_ = p.Invoke(int32(i))
-	}
-	wg.Wait()
-	fmt.Printf("running goroutines: %d\n", p.Running())
-	fmt.Printf("finish all tasks, result is %d\n", sum)
-}

-
-```go
-// Option represents the optional function.
-type Option func(opts *Options)

-// Options contains all options which will be applied when instantiating a ants pool.
-type Options struct {

-	// the scavenger scans all workers every `ExpiryDuration` and clean up those workers that haven't been
-	// used for more than `ExpiryDuration`.

-
-	// PreAlloc indicates whether to make memory pre-allocation when initializing Pool.
-	PreAlloc bool

-	// Max number of goroutine blocking on pool.Submit.
-	// 0 (default value) means no such limit.
-	MaxBlockingTasks int
-

-	// ErrPoolOverload will be returned when Pool.Submit cannot be done at once.
-	// When Nonblocking is true, MaxBlockingTasks is inoperative.
-	Nonblocking bool

-	// PanicHandler is used to handle panics from each worker goroutine.
-	// if nil, panics will be thrown out again from worker goroutines.
-	PanicHandler func(interface{})

-
-// WithPreAlloc indicates whether it should malloc for workers.
-func WithPreAlloc(preAlloc bool) Option {

-func WithNonblocking(nonblocking bool) Option {

-
-// WithPanicHandler sets up panic handler.
-func WithPanicHandler(panicHandler func(interface{})) Option {

-func WithLogger(logger Logger) Option {

-
-`ants.Options`contains all optional configurations of ants pool, which allows you to customize the goroutine pool by invoking option functions to set up each configuration in `NewPool`/`NewPoolWithFunc`method.
-
-### Customize limited pool
-
-`ants` also supports customizing the capacity of pool. You can invoke the `NewPool` method to instantiate a pool with a given capacity, as following:
-
-``` go
-// Set 10000 the size of goroutine pool

 ```
 
 ### Submit tasks
-Tasks can be submitted by calling `ants.Submit(func())`
+Tasks can be submitted by calling `ants.Submit`
 ```go
 ants.Submit(func(){})
 ```
 
-### Tune pool capacity in runtime
-You can tune the capacity of  `ants` pool in runtime with `Tune(int)`:
+### Tune pool capacity at runtime
+You can tune the capacity of `ants` pool at runtime with `ants.Tune`:
 
 ``` go
 pool.Tune(1000) // Tune its capacity to 1000
 pool.Tune(100000) // Tune its capacity to 100000
 ```
 
-Don't worry about the synchronous problems in this case, the method here is thread-safe (or should be called goroutine-safe).
+Don't worry about the contention problems in this case, the method here is thread-safe (or should be called goroutine-safe).
 
 ### Pre-malloc goroutine queue in pool
 
-`ants` allows you to pre-allocate memory of goroutine queue in pool, which may get a performance enhancement under some special certain circumstances such as the scenario that requires a pool with ultra-large capacity, meanwhile each task in goroutine lasts for a long time, in this case, pre-mallocing will reduce a lot of memory allocation in goroutine queue.

-**这里为了模拟大规模 goroutine 的场景，两次测试的并发次数分别是 100w 和 1000w，前两个测试分别是执行 100w 个并发任务不使用 Pool 和使用了`ants`的 Goroutine Pool 的性能，后两个则是 1000w 个任务下的表现，可以直观的看出在执行速度和内存使用上，`ants`的 Pool 都占有明显的优势。100w 的任务量，使用`ants`，执行速度与原生 goroutine 相当甚至略快，但只实际使用了不到 5w 个 goroutine 完成了全部任务，且内存消耗仅为原生并发的 40%；而当任务量达到 1000w，优势则更加明显了：用了 70w 左右的 goroutine 完成全部任务，执行速度比原生 goroutine 提高了 100%，且内存消耗依旧保持在不使用 Pool 的 40% 左右。**

-
-**因为`PoolWithFunc`这个 Pool 只绑定一个任务函数，也即所有任务都是运行同一个函数，所以相较于`Pool`对原生 goroutine 在执行速度和内存消耗的优势更大，上面的结果可以看出，执行速度可以达到原生 goroutine 的 300%，而内存消耗的优势已经达到了两位数的差距，原生 goroutine 的内存消耗达到了`ants`的35倍且原生 goroutine 的每次执行的内存分配次数也达到了`ants`45倍，1000w 的任务量，`ants`的初始分配容量是 5w，因此它完成了所有的任务依旧只使用了 5w 个 goroutine！事实上，`ants`的 Goroutine Pool 的容量是可以自定义的，也就是说使用者可以根据不同场景对这个参数进行调优直至达到最高性能。**
