GET_NPROCS(3)              Linux Programmer's Manual             GET_NPROCS(3)
NAME
       get_nprocs, get_nprocs_conf - get number of processors
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.

CONFORMING TO
       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 */
EXAMPLE
       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);
       }
