get_nprocs(3) Library Functions Manual get_nprocs(3) NAME get_nprocs, get_nprocs_conf - get number of processors LIBRARY Standard C library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include <sys/sysinfo.h> int get_nprocs(void); int get_nprocs_conf(void); DESCRIPTION The function get_nprocs_conf() returns the number of processors config- ured by the operating system. The function get_nprocs() returns the number of processors currently available in the system. This may be less than the number returned by get_nprocs_conf() because processors may be offline (e.g., on hotplug- gable systems). RETURN VALUE As given in DESCRIPTION. ATTRIBUTES For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see at- tributes(7). ┌────────────────────────────────────────────┬───────────────┬─────────┐ │Interface │ Attribute │ Value │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼─────────┤ │get_nprocs(), get_nprocs_conf() │ Thread safety │ MT-Safe │ └────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────────┴─────────┘ STANDARDS These functions are GNU extensions. NOTES The current implementation of these functions is rather expensive, since they open and parse files in the /sys filesystem each time they are called. The following sysconf(3) calls make use of the functions documented on this page to return the same information. np = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF); /* processors configured */ np = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN); /* processors available */ EXAMPLES The following example shows how get_nprocs() and get_nprocs_conf() can be used. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/sysinfo.h> int main(void) { printf("This system has %d processors configured and " "%d processors available.\n", get_nprocs_conf(), get_nprocs()); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } SEE ALSO nproc(1) Linux man-pages 6.03 2022-12-15 get_nprocs(3)
