CPUSET_GETAFFINITY(2) FreeBSD System Calls Manual CPUSET_GETAFFINITY(2)
NAME cpuset_getaffinity, cpuset_setaffinity - manage CPU affinity
LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS #include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/cpuset.h>
int cpuset_getaffinity(cpulevel_t level, cpuwhich_t which, id_t id, size_t setsize, cpuset_t *mask);
int cpuset_setaffinity(cpulevel_t level, cpuwhich_t which, id_t id, size_t setsize, const cpuset_t *mask);
DESCRIPTION cpuset_getaffinity() and cpuset_setaffinity() allow the manipulation of sets of CPUs available to processes, threads, interrupts, jails and other resources. These functions may manipulate sets of CPUs that contain many processes or per-object anonymous masks that effect only a single object.
The valid values for the level and which arguments are documented in cpuset(2). These arguments specify which object and which set of the object we are referring to. Not all possible combinations are valid. For example, only processes may belong to a numbered set accessed by a level argument of CPU_LEVEL_CPUSET. All resources, however, have a mask which may be manipulated with CPU_LEVEL_WHICH.
Masks of type cpuset_t are composed using the CPU_SET macros. If the user-supplied mask is not large enough to fit all of the matching CPUs, cpuset_getaffinity() fails with ERANGE. Calls to cpuset_setaffinity() tolerate masks of any size with no restrictions. The kernel uses the meaningful part of the mask, where the upper bound is the maximum CPU id present in the system. If bits for non-existing CPUs are set, calls to cpuset_setaffinity() fail with EINVAL.
The supplied mask should have a size of setsize bytes. This size is usually provided by calling sizeof(mask) which is ultimately determined by the value of CPU_SETSIZE as defined in <sys/cpuset.h>.
cpuset_getaffinity() retrieves the mask from the object specified by level, which and id and stores it in the space provided by mask.
cpuset_setaffinity() attempts to set the mask for the object specified by level, which and id to the value in mask.
RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS The following error codes may be set in errno:
overlap with the thread's anonymous mask.
[EFAULT] The mask pointer passed was invalid.
[ESRCH] The object specified by the id and which arguments could not be found.
[ERANGE] The cpusetsize was smaller than needed to fit all of the matching CPUs.
[EPERM] The calling process did not have the credentials required to complete the operation.
[ECAPMODE] The calling process attempted to act on a process other than itself, while in capability mode. See capsicum(4).
