get_nprocs, get_nprocs_conf — get number of processors
#include <sys/sysinfo.h>
int
get_nprocs( |
void); |
int
get_nprocs_conf( |
void); |
The function get_nprocs_conf() returns the number of
processors configured 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 hotpluggable
systems).
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

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 */
The following example shows how get_nprocs() and get_nprocs_conf() can be used.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/sysinfo.h>
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("This system has %d processors configured and "
"%d processors available.\n",
get_nprocs_conf(), get_nprocs());
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
