31.Sh NAME
32.Nm cpuset_getaffinity ,
33.Nm cpuset_setaffinity
34.Nd manage CPU affinity
35.Sh LIBRARY
36.Lb libc
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In sys/param.h
39.In sys/cpuset.h
40.Ft int
41.Fn cpuset_getaffinity "cpulevel_t level" "cpuwhich_t which" "id_t id" "size_t setsize" "cpuset_t *mask"
42.Ft int
43.Fn cpuset_setaffinity "cpulevel_t level" "cpuwhich_t which" "id_t id" "size_t setsize" "const cpuset_t *mask"
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45.Fn cpuset_getaffinity
46and
47.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
48allow the manipulation of sets of CPUs available to processes, threads,
49interrupts, jails and other resources.
50These functions may manipulate sets of CPUs that contain many processes
51or per-object anonymous masks that effect only a single object.
52.Pp
53The valid values for the
54.Fa level
55and
56.Fa which
57arguments are documented in
58.Xr cpuset 2 .
59These arguments specify which object and which set of the object we are
60referring to.
61Not all possible combinations are valid.
62For example, only processes may belong to a numbered set accessed by a
63.Fa level
64argument of
65.Dv CPU_LEVEL_CPUSET .
66All resources, however, have a mask which may be manipulated with
67.Dv CPU_LEVEL_WHICH .
68.Pp
69Masks of type
70.Ft cpuset_t
71are composed using the
72.Dv CPU_SET
73macros.
74The kernel tolerates large sets as long as all CPUs specified
75in the set exist.
76Sets smaller than the kernel uses generate an error on calls to
77.Fn cpuset_getaffinity
78even if the result set would fit within the user supplied set.
79Calls to
80.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
81tolerate small sets with no restrictions.
82.Pp
83The supplied mask should have a size of
84.Fa setsize
85bytes.
86This size is usually provided by calling
87.Li sizeof(mask)
88which is ultimately determined by the value of
89.Dv CPU_SETSIZE
90as defined in
91.In sys/cpuset.h .
92.Pp
93.Fn cpuset_getaffinity
94retrieves the
95mask from the object specified by
96.Fa level ,
97.Fa which
98and
99.Fa id
100and stores it in the space provided by
101.Fa mask .
102.Pp
103.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
104attempts to set the mask for the object specified by
105.Fa level ,
106.Fa which
107and
108.Fa id
109to the value in
110.Fa mask .
111.Sh RETURN VALUES
112.Rv -std
113.Sh ERRORS
114The following error codes may be set in
115.Va errno :
116.Bl -tag -width Er
117.It Bq Er EINVAL
118The
119.Fa level
120or
121.Fa which
122argument was not a valid value.
123.It Bq Er EINVAL
124The
125.Fa mask
126argument specified when calling
127.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
128was not a valid value.
129.It Bq Er EDEADLK
130The
131.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
132call would leave a thread without a valid CPU to run on because the set
133does not overlap with the thread's anonymous mask.
134.It Bq Er EFAULT
135The mask pointer passed was invalid.
136.It Bq Er ESRCH
137The object specified by the
138.Fa id
139and
140.Fa which
141arguments could not be found.
142.It Bq Er ERANGE
143The
144.Fa cpusetsize
145was either preposterously large or smaller than the kernel set size.
146.It Bq Er EPERM
147The calling process did not have the credentials required to complete the
148operation.
