CPUSET_GETAFFINITY(2)	    BSD	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 ob-
     ject 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.  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
     cpuset_getaffinity() even if the result set would fit within the user
     supplied set.  Calls to cpuset_setaffinity() tolerate small sets with no
     restrictions.

     The supplied mask should have a size of setsize bytes.  This size is usu-
     ally 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:

     [EINVAL]		The level or which argument was	not a valid value.

     [EINVAL]		The mask argument specified when calling
			cpuset_setaffinity() was not a valid value.

     [EDEADLK]		The cpuset_setaffinity() call would leave a thread
			without	a valid	CPU to run on because the set does not
			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 either preposterously large or
			smaller	than the kernel	set size.

     [EPERM]		The calling process did	not have the credentials re-
			quired to complete the operation.

     FreeBSD 7.1.
