.Dd April 27, 2022 .Dt CPUSET_GETAFFINITY 2 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm cpuset_getaffinity , .Nm cpuset_setaffinity .Nd manage CPU affinity .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n sys/param.h n sys/cpuset.h .Ft int .Fn cpuset_getaffinity "cpulevel_t level" "cpuwhich_t which" "id_t id" "size_t setsize" "cpuset_t *mask" .Ft int .Fn cpuset_setaffinity "cpulevel_t level" "cpuwhich_t which" "id_t id" "size_t setsize" "const cpuset_t *mask" .Sh DESCRIPTION .Fn cpuset_getaffinity and .Fn 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.
p The valid values for the .Fa level and .Fa which arguments are documented in .Xr 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 .Fa level argument of .Dv CPU_LEVEL_CPUSET . All resources, however, have a mask which may be manipulated with .Dv CPU_LEVEL_WHICH .
p Masks of type .Ft cpuset_t are composed using the .Dv CPU_SET macros. If the user-supplied mask is not large enough to fit all of the matching CPUs, .Fn cpuset_getaffinity fails with .Er ERANGE . Calls to .Fn 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 .Fn cpuset_setaffinity fail with .Er EINVAL .
p The supplied mask should have a size of .Fa setsize bytes. This size is usually provided by calling .Li sizeof(mask) which is ultimately determined by the value of .Dv CPU_SETSIZE as defined in n sys/cpuset.h .
p .Fn cpuset_getaffinity retrieves the mask from the object specified by .Fa level , .Fa which and .Fa id and stores it in the space provided by .Fa mask .
p
.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
attempts to set the mask for the object specified by
.Fa level ,
.Fa which
and
.Fa id
to the value in
.Fa mask .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Rv -std
.Sh ERRORS
The following error codes may be set in
.Va errno :
l -tag -width Er When changing this list, consider updating share/man/man3/pthread_create.3,
since that function can return any of these errors.
t Bq Er EINVAL The
.Fa level
or
.Fa which
argument was not a valid value.
t Bq Er EINVAL The
.Fa mask
argument specified when calling
.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
was not a valid value.
t Bq Er EDEADLK The
.Fn 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.
t Bq Er EFAULT The mask pointer passed was invalid.
t Bq Er ESRCH The object specified by the
.Fa id
and
.Fa which
arguments could not be found.
t Bq Er ERANGE The
.Fa cpusetsize
was smaller than needed to fit all of the matching CPUs.
t Bq Er EPERM The calling process did not have the credentials required to complete the
operation.
t Bq Er ECAPMODE The calling process attempted to act on a process other than itself, while
in capability mode.
