28.Dt PTHREAD_ATTR_AFFINITY_NP 3
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm pthread_attr_getaffinity_np ,
32.Nm pthread_attr_setaffinity_np
33.Nd manage CPU affinity in thread attribute objects
34.Sh LIBRARY
35.Lb libpthread
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In pthread_np.h
38.Ft int
39.Fn pthread_attr_getaffinity_np "const pthread_attr_t *pattr" "size_t cpusetsize" "cpuset_t *cpusetp"
40.Ft int
41.Fn pthread_attr_setaffinity_np "pthread_attr_t *pattr" "size_t cpusetsize" "const cpuset_t *cpusetp"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Fn pthread_attr_getaffinity_np
45and
46.Fn pthread_attr_setaffinity_np
47functions allow the manipulation of sets of CPUs available to the specified thread attribute object.
48.Pp
49Masks of type
50.Ft cpuset_t
51are composed using the
52.Dv CPU_SET
53macros.
54If the user-supplied mask is not large enough to fit all of the matching CPUs,
55.Fn pthread_attr_getaffinity_np
56fails with
57.Er ERANGE .
58Calls to
59.Fn pthread_attr_setaffinity_np
60tolerate masks of any size with no restrictions.
61.Fn pthread_attr_setaffinity_np
62uses the meaningful part of the mask, where the upper bound is
63the maximum CPU id present in the system.
64If bits for non-existing CPUs are set, calls to
65.Fn pthread_attr_setaffinity_np
66fails with
67.Er EINVAL .
68.Pp
69The supplied mask should have a size of
70.Fa cpusetsize
71bytes.
72This size is usually provided by calling
73.Li sizeof(cpuset_t)
74which is ultimately determined by the value of
75.Dv CPU_SETSIZE
76as defined in
77.In sys/cpuset.h .
78.Pp
79.Fn pthread_attr_getaffinity_np
80retrieves the
81mask from the thread attribute object specified by
82.Fa pattr ,
83and stores it in the space provided by
84.Fa cpusetp .
85.Pp
86.Fn pthread_attr_setaffinity_np
87sets the mask for the thread attribute object specified by
88.Fa pattr
89to the value in
90.Fa cpusetp .
91.Sh RETURN VALUES
92If successful, the
93.Fn pthread_attr_getaffinity_np
94and
95.Fn pthread_attr_setaffinity_np
96functions will return zero.
97Otherwise an error number will be returned
98to indicate the error.
99.Sh ERRORS
100The
101.Fn pthread_attr_getaffinity_np
102functions will fail if:
103.Bl -tag -width Er
104.It Bq Er EINVAL
105The
106.Fa pattr
107or the attribute specified by it is
108.Dv NULL .
109.It Bq Er ERANGE
110The
111.Fa cpusetsize
112is too small.
113.El
114.Pp
115The
116.Fn pthread_attr_setaffinity_np
117function will fail if:
118.Bl -tag -width Er
119.It Bq Er EINVAL
120The
121.Fa pattr
122or the attribute specified by it is
123.Dv NULL .
124.It Bq Er EINVAL
125The
126.Fa cpusetp
127specified a CPU that was outside the set supported by the kernel.
128.It Bq Er ENOMEM
129Insufficient memory exists to store the cpuset mask.
