NPROC(1)		     General Commands Manual			NPROC(1)

NAME
     nproc -- print the number of processors

SYNOPSIS
     nproc [--all] [--ignore=count] nproc --help nproc --version

DESCRIPTION
     The  nproc utility is used to print the number of processors limited to the
     cpuset(2) of the current process, unless the --all flag is specified.

     The available flags are:

     --all   Count all processors currently online.

     --ignore=count
	     The result is decreased by count, but never below 1.

     --version
	     Print the current program version and exit.  Do not  use  this  op-
	     tion.

     --help  Print usage information and exit.

COMPATIBILITY
     This  program is intended to be compatible with nproc as found in GNU core-
     utils.

BUGS
     If HyperThreading is enabled in BIOS and disabled in the kernel, the  --all
     option  on  Linux	will  still report all possible CPU threads.  On FreeBSD
     only active threads will be reported.

SEE ALSO
     cpuset(1)

HISTORY
     The nproc utility first appeared in FreeBSD 13.2.
