PTHREAD_ATTR_AFFINITY... BSD Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_ATTR_AFFINITY...

NAME
     pthread_attr_getaffinity_np, pthread_attr_setaffinity_np — manage CPU
     affinity in thread attribute objects

LIBRARY
     POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread_np.h>

     int
     pthread_attr_getaffinity_np(const pthread_attr_t *pattr,
	 size_t cpusetsize, cpuset_t *cpusetp);

     int
     pthread_attr_setaffinity_np(pthread_attr_t *pattr, size_t cpusetsize,
	 const cpuset_t *cpusetp);

DESCRIPTION
     The pthread_attr_getaffinity_np() and pthread_attr_setaffinity_np() func‐
     tions allow the manipulation of sets of CPUs available to the specified
     thread attribute object.

     Masks of type cpuset_t are composed using the CPU_SET(3) macros.  The
     kernel tolerates large sets as long as all CPUs specified in the set
     exist.  Sets smaller than the kernel uses generate an error on calls to
     pthread_attr_getaffinity_np() even if the result set would fit within the
     user supplied set.	 Calls to pthread_attr_setaffinity_np() tolerate small
     sets with no restrictions.

     The supplied mask should have a size of cpusetsize bytes.	This size is
     usually provided by calling sizeof(cpuset_t) which is ultimately deter‐
     mined by the value of CPU_SETSIZE as defined in <sys/cpuset.h>.

     pthread_attr_getaffinity_np() retrieves the mask from the thread
     attribute object specified by pattr, and stores it in the space provided
     by cpusetp.

     pthread_attr_setaffinity_np() sets the mask for the thread attribute
     object specified by pattr to the value in cpusetp.

RETURN VALUES
     If successful, the pthread_attr_getaffinity_np() and
     pthread_attr_setaffinity_np() functions will return zero.	Otherwise an
     error number will be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The pthread_attr_getaffinity_np() and pthread_attr_setaffinity_np() func‐
     tions will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		The pattr or the attribute specified by it is NULL.

     The pthread_attr_setaffinity_np() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		The pattr or the attribute specified by it is NULL.

     [ENOMEM]		Insufficient memory exists to store the cpuset mask.
