.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In pthread.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn pthread_getconcurrency void
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency "int new_level"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency
|
|
function allows an application to inform the threads implementation
|
|
of its desired concurrency level,
|
|
.Fa new_level .
|
|
The actual level of concurrency provided by the implementation
|
|
as a result of this function call is unspecified.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa new_level
|
|
is zero, it causes the implementation to maintain the concurrency
|
|
level at its discretion as if
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency
|
|
was never called.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_getconcurrency
|
|
function returns the value set by a previous call to the
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency
|
|
function.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency
|
|
function was not previously called, this function returns zero to
|
|
indicate that the implementation is maintaining the concurrency
|
|
level.
|
|
When an application calls
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency ,
|
|
it is informing the implementation of its desired concurrency
|
|
level.
|
|
The implementation uses this as a hint, not a requirement.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency
|
|
function returns zero.
|
|
Otherwise, an error number is returned
|
|
to indicate the error.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_getconcurrency
|
|
function always returns the concurrency level set by a previous
|
|
call to
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency
|
|
function has never been called,
|
|
.Fn pthread_getconcurrency
|
|
returns zero.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency
|
|
function will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The value specified by
|
|
.Fa new_level
|
|
is negative.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
The value specified by
|
|
.Fa new_level
|
|
would cause a system resource to be exceeded.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh APPLICATION USAGE
|
|
Use of these functions changes the state of the underlying
|
|
concurrency upon which the application depends.
|
|
Library developers are advised to not use the
|
|
.Fn pthread_getconcurrency
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency
|
|
functions since their use may conflict with an application's
|
|
use of these functions.
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_getconcurrency
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn pthread_setconcurrency
|
|
functions conform to
|
|
.St -susv2 .
