DESCRIPTION

       The  cpu_set_t  data  structure  represents  a  set  of  CPUs.   CPU  sets  are  used   by
       sched_setaffinity(2) and similar interfaces.

       The  cpu_set_t data type is implemented as a bit mask.  However, the data structure should
       be treated as opaque: all manipulation of CPU sets should be done via the macros described
       in this page.

       The following macros are provided to operate on the CPU set set:

       CPU_ZERO()
              Clears set, so that it contains no CPUs.

       CPU_SET()
              Add CPU cpu to set.

       CPU_CLR()
              Remove CPU cpu from set.

       CPU_ISSET()
              Test to see if CPU cpu is a member of set.

       CPU_COUNT()
              Return the number of CPUs in set.

       Where  a  cpu  argument  is specified, it should not produce side effects, since the above
       macros may evaluate the argument more than once.

       The first CPU on the system corresponds to a cpu value of 0, the next CPU corresponds to a
       cpu  value  of  1,  and  so on.  No assumptions should be made about particular CPUs being
       available, or the  set  of  CPUs  being  contiguous,  since  CPUs  can  be  taken  offline
       dynamically or be otherwise absent.  The constant CPU_SETSIZE (currently 1024) specifies a
       value one greater than the maximum CPU number that can be stored in cpu_set_t.

       The following macros perform logical operations on CPU sets:

       CPU_AND()
              Store the intersection of the sets srcset1 and srcset2 in destset (which may be one
              of the source sets).

       CPU_OR()
              Store the union of the sets srcset1 and srcset2 in destset (which may be one of the
              source sets).

       CPU_XOR()
              Store the XOR of the sets srcset1 and srcset2 in destset (which may be one  of  the
              source sets).  The XOR means the set of CPUs that are in either srcset1 or srcset2,
              but not both.

       CPU_EQUAL()
              Test whether two CPU set contain exactly the same CPUs.

   Dynamically sized CPU sets
       Because some applications may require the ability to dynamically size CPU sets  (e.g.,  to
       allocate  sets  larger  than  that  defined  by  the  standard cpu_set_t data type), glibc
       nowadays provides a set of macros to support this.

       The following macros are used to allocate and deallocate CPU sets:

       CPU_ALLOC()
              Allocate a CPU set large enough to hold CPUs in the range 0 to num_cpus-1.

       CPU_ALLOC_SIZE()
              Return the size in bytes of the CPU set that would be needed to hold  CPUs  in  the
              range  0  to  num_cpus-1.   This  macro provides the value that can be used for the
              setsize argument in the CPU_*_S() macros described below.

       CPU_FREE()
              Free a CPU set previously allocated by CPU_ALLOC().

       The macros whose names end with "_S" are the analogs of the similarly named macros without
       the  suffix.   These  macros  perform  the same tasks as their analogs, but operate on the
       dynamically allocated CPU set(s) whose size is setsize bytes.

RETURN VALUE

       CPU_ISSET() and CPU_ISSET_S() return nonzero if cpu is in set; otherwise, it returns 0.

       CPU_COUNT() and CPU_COUNT_S() return the number of CPUs in set.

       CPU_EQUAL() and CPU_EQUAL_S() return nonzero if the two CPU sets are equal; otherwise they
       return 0.

       CPU_ALLOC()  returns  a  pointer  on  success,  or  NULL  on  failure.  (Errors are as for
       malloc(3).)

       CPU_ALLOC_SIZE() returns the number of bytes required to store a CPU set of the  specified
       cardinality.

       The other functions do not return a value.

VERSIONS

       The CPU_ZERO(), CPU_SET(), CPU_CLR(), and CPU_ISSET() macros were added in glibc 2.3.3.

       CPU_COUNT() first appeared in glibc 2.6.

       CPU_AND(),  CPU_OR(),  CPU_XOR(),  CPU_EQUAL(), CPU_ALLOC(), CPU_ALLOC_SIZE(), CPU_FREE(),
       CPU_ZERO_S(),   CPU_SET_S(),   CPU_CLR_S(),   CPU_ISSET_S(),   CPU_AND_S(),    CPU_OR_S(),
       CPU_XOR_S(), and CPU_EQUAL_S() first appeared in glibc 2.7.

STANDARDS

       These interfaces are Linux-specific.

NOTES

       To duplicate a CPU set, use memcpy(3).

       Since  CPU  sets are bit masks allocated in units of long words, the actual number of CPUs
       in a  dynamically  allocated  CPU  set  will  be  rounded  up  to  the  next  multiple  of
       sizeof(unsigned long).  An application should consider the contents of these extra bits to
       be undefined.

       Notwithstanding the similarity in the names, note that the constant CPU_SETSIZE  indicates
       the number of CPUs in the cpu_set_t data type (thus, it is effectively a count of the bits
       in the bit mask), while the setsize argument of the CPU_*_S() macros is a size in bytes.

       The data types for arguments and return values shown in the SYNOPSIS are hints what  about
       is  expected in each case.  However, since these interfaces are implemented as macros, the
       compiler won't necessarily catch all type errors if you violate the suggestions.

BUGS

       On 32-bit platforms with glibc 2.8 and earlier, CPU_ALLOC() allocates twice as much  space
       as  is  required,  and CPU_ALLOC_SIZE() returns a value twice as large as it should.  This
       bug should not affect the semantics of a program, but does result  in  wasted  memory  and
       less  efficient  operation  of  the macros that operate on dynamically allocated CPU sets.
       These bugs are fixed in glibc 2.9.

EXAMPLES

       The following program demonstrates the use of some of  the  macros  used  for  dynamically
       allocated CPU sets.

       #define _GNU_SOURCE
       #include <sched.h>
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <stdlib.h>
       #include <unistd.h>

       #include <assert.h>

       int
       main(int argc, char *argv[])
       {
           cpu_set_t *cpusetp;
           size_t size, num_cpus;

           if (argc < 2) {
               fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s <num-cpus>\n", argv[0]);
               exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
           }

           num_cpus = atoi(argv[1]);

           cpusetp = CPU_ALLOC(num_cpus);
           if (cpusetp == NULL) {
               perror("CPU_ALLOC");
               exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
           }

           size = CPU_ALLOC_SIZE(num_cpus);

           CPU_ZERO_S(size, cpusetp);
           for (size_t cpu = 0; cpu < num_cpus; cpu += 2)
               CPU_SET_S(cpu, size, cpusetp);

           printf("CPU_COUNT() of set:    %d\n", CPU_COUNT_S(size, cpusetp));

           CPU_FREE(cpusetp);
           exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
       }
