SYNOPSIS
mempool_t * mempool_create(int min_nr, mempool_alloc_t * alloc_fn, mempool_free_t * free_fn, void * pool_data);
ARGUMENTS
min_nr
the minimum number of elements guaranteed to be allocated for this pool.
alloc_fn
user-defined element-allocation function.
free_fn
user-defined element-freeing function.
pool_data

DESCRIPTION
this function creates and allocates a guaranteed size, preallocated memory pool. The pool can be used from the mempool_alloc and
