CPUSET_GETAFFINITY(2)	      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 con-
       tain 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:

       [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 smaller than needed to fit	all of
			  the matching CPUs.

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

       [ECAPMODE]	  The  calling	process	 attempted to act on a process
			  other	than itself, while in  capability  mode.   See
			  capsicum(4).
