PTHREAD_CURCPU_NP(3) Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_CURCPU_NP(3) NAME pthread_curcpu_np - get current CPU identifier SYNOPSIS #include <pthread.h> unsigned int pthread_curcpu_np(void); DESCRIPTION The pthread_curcpu_np() function provides a way for a thread to know which CPU it's currently running on. Note that, unless the thread is bound to a specific CPU, the result might be already stale when the function returns. However, it still can be useful as a hint to achieve better CPU locality. RETURN VALUES The pthread_curcpu_np() function returns the integer identifier of the CPU which is currently running the calling thread. COMPATIBILITY The pthread_curcpu_np() function is a non-standard extension. SEE ALSO affinity(3), pthread(3) NetBSD 9.99 November 10, 2011 NetBSD 9.99
