34.Dt LWP_SETAFFINITY 2
35.Os
36.Sh NAME
37.Nm lwp_setaffinity,
38.Nm lwp_getaffinity
39.Nd set and get a LWP's CPU affinity mask
40.Sh LIBRARY
41.Lb libc
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.In sys/types.h
44.In sys/usched.h
45.Ft int
46.Fn lwp_setaffinity "pid_t pid" "lwpid_t tid" "const cpumask_t *mask"
47.Ft int
48.Fn lwp_getaffinity "pid_t pid" "lwpid_t tid" "cpumask_t *mask"
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Fn lwp_setaffinity
52system call sets the CPU affinity mask of the LWP,
53which is identified by the
54.Fa pid
55and the
56.Fa tid ,
57to the value specified by the
58.Fa mask .
59If the
60.Fa pid
61is zero,
62then the pid of the calling process is used.
63If the
64.Fa tid
65is less than zero,
66then all LWPs of the process identified by the
67.Fa pid
68are affected.
69If the LWP specified by the
70.Fa pid
71and the
72.Fa tid
73is the current LWP it will be migrated immediately,
74if necessary, otherwise it will be migrated by the scheduler later.
75.Pp
76A process created by
77.Xr fork 2 ,
78.Xr vfork 2 ,
79and
80.Xr rfork 2
81inherits the calling LWP's CPU affinity mask.
82Same applies to the LWPs created by
83.Xr lwp_create 2 ,
84and the threads created by
85.Xr pthread_create 3 .
86.Pp
87.Fn lwp_getaffinity
88writes the affinity mask of the LWP,
89which is identified by the
90.Fa pid
91and the
92.Fa tid ,
93to the cpumask_t structure pointed to by
94.Fa mask .
95If the
96.Fa pid
97is zero,
98then the pid of the calling process is used.
99If the
100.Fa tid
101is less than zero,
102then the first LWP of specified process is used.
103.Sh RETURN VALUES
104These system calls return \-1 on error and
1050 upon successful completion.
106.Sh ERRORS
107The
108.Fn lwp_setaffinity
109and
110.Fn lwp_getaffinity
111system calls will fail if:
112.Bl -tag -width Er
113.It Bq Er EFAULT
114The
115.Fa name
116parameter is outside the process's allocated address space.
117.It Bq Er EINVAL
118The
119.Fa pid
120parameter is negative.
121.It Bq Er ESRCH
122The LWP identified by the
123.Fa pid
124and the
125.Fa tid
126does not exist.
127.It Bq Er EPERM
128The
129.Fa mask
130does not contain a valid CPU.
