30.Nm cpuset_getaffinity ,

32.Nd manage CPU affinity
33.Sh LIBRARY
34.Lb libc
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In sys/param.h
37.In sys/cpuset.h
38.Ft int
39.Fn cpuset_getaffinity "cpulevel_t level" "cpuwhich_t which" "id_t id" "size_t setsize" "cpuset_t *mask"
40.Ft int
41.Fn cpuset_setaffinity "cpulevel_t level" "cpuwhich_t which" "id_t id" "size_t setsize" "const cpuset_t *mask"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43.Fn cpuset_getaffinity
44and
45.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
46allow the manipulation of sets of CPUs available to processes, threads,
47interrupts, jails and other resources.
48These functions may manipulate sets of CPUs that contain many processes
49or per-object anonymous masks that effect only a single object.
50.Pp
51The valid values for the
52.Fa level
53and
54.Fa which
55arguments are documented in
56.Xr cpuset 2 .
57These arguments specify which object and which set of the object we are
58referring to.
59Not all possible combinations are valid.
60For example, only processes may belong to a numbered set accessed by a
61.Fa level
62argument of
63.Dv CPU_LEVEL_CPUSET .
64All resources, however, have a mask which may be manipulated with
65.Dv CPU_LEVEL_WHICH .
66.Pp
67Masks of type
68.Ft cpuset_t
69are composed using the
70.Dv CPU_SET
71macros.
72If the user-supplied mask is not large enough to fit all of the matching CPUs,
73.Fn cpuset_getaffinity
74fails with
75.Er ERANGE .
76Calls to
77.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
78tolerate masks of any size with no restrictions.
79The kernel uses the meaningful part of the mask, where the upper bound is
80the maximum CPU id present in the system.
81If bits for non-existing CPUs are set, calls to
82.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
83fail with
84.Er EINVAL .
85.Pp
86The supplied mask should have a size of
87.Fa setsize
88bytes.
89This size is usually provided by calling
90.Li sizeof(mask)
91which is ultimately determined by the value of
92.Dv CPU_SETSIZE
93as defined in
94.In sys/cpuset.h .
95.Pp
96.Fn cpuset_getaffinity
97retrieves the
98mask from the object specified by
99.Fa level ,
100.Fa which
101and
102.Fa id
103and stores it in the space provided by
104.Fa mask .
105.Pp
106.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
107attempts to set the mask for the object specified by
108.Fa level ,
109.Fa which
110and
111.Fa id
112to the value in
113.Fa mask .
114.Sh RETURN VALUES
115.Rv -std
116.Sh ERRORS
117The following error codes may be set in
118.Va errno :
119.Bl -tag -width Er
120.\" When changing this list, consider updating share/man/man3/pthread_create.3,
121.\" since that function can return any of these errors.
122.It Bq Er EINVAL
123The
124.Fa level
125or
126.Fa which
127argument was not a valid value.
128.It Bq Er EINVAL
129The
130.Fa mask
131argument specified when calling
132.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
133was not a valid value.
134.It Bq Er EDEADLK
135The
136.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
137call would leave a thread without a valid CPU to run on because the set
138does not overlap with the thread's anonymous mask.
139.It Bq Er EFAULT
140The mask pointer passed was invalid.
141.It Bq Er ESRCH
142The object specified by the
143.Fa id
144and
145.Fa which
146arguments could not be found.
147.It Bq Er ERANGE
148The
149.Fa cpusetsize
150was smaller than needed to fit all of the matching CPUs.
151.It Bq Er EPERM
152The calling process did not have the credentials required to complete the
153operation.
154.It Bq Er ECAPMODE
155The calling process attempted to act on a process other than itself, while
156in capability mode.
