need support to run on multiple processes

[balusarakesh]

It seems scancode can run its test cases on multiple processes. It would be nice if scancode can run its scans on multiple processes.

great idea. Can you elaborate a bit what you have in mind?

[balusarakesh]

The idea is to take input(number of processes) from users with an extra option in the CLI like -n 4 where the scans run on 4 processes in parallel. By default we can set this value to 1. In this way we can speed up the process of running scans.

This has been implemented as part of #267 . Closing
