NAME
cpu - A tool for user and group administration SYNOPSIS
cpu [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
CPU is a tool for user administration, that was initially based on FreeBSD's pw(8). This tool will allow you to administer users and groups on several different backends currently including LDAP and flat files. Please see the website http://cpu.sourceforge.net for more informa- tion, or help improve the man page. OPTIONS
There are two kinds of options; options for CPU and options for CPU modules. There are only four options for CPU, they are as follows: -C configfile, --config configfile The configuration file to be used by CPU. The options in this file are used for CPU modules. -h, --help Display help for CPU. If specified in conjunction with the -m option the help for that particular module is displayed. -M method, --method=method This is the method of administration. Current options are ldap or passwd (passwd is not yet working). This can be specified in the configuration file. -V, --version Display the version of the software. SEE ALSO

NAME
cpuset_create, cpuset_destroy, cpuset_zero, cpuset_set, cpuset_clr, cpuset_isset, cpuset_size -- dynamic CPU sets SYNOPSIS
#include <sched.h> cpuset_t * cpuset_create(void); void cpuset_destroy(cpuset_t *set); void cpuset_zero(cpuset_t *set); int cpuset_set(cpuid_t cpu, cpuset_t *set); int cpuset_clr(cpuid_t cpu, cpuset_t *set); int cpuset_isset(cpuid_t cpu, const cpuset_t *set); size_t cpuset_size(const cpuset_t *set); DESCRIPTION
This section describes the functions used to create, set, use and destroy the dynamic CPU sets. This API can be used with the POSIX threads, see pthread(3) and affinity(3). The ID of the primary CPU in the system is 0. FUNCTIONS
cpuset_create() Allocates and initializes a clean CPU-set. Returns the pointer to the CPU-set, or NULL on failure. cpuset_destroy(set) Destroy the CPU-set specified by set. cpuset_zero(set) Makes the CPU-set specified by set clean, that is, memory is initialized to zero bytes, and none of the CPUs set. cpuset_set(cpu, set) Sets the CPU specified by cpu in set. Returns zero on success, and -1 if cpu is invalid. cpuset_clr(cpu, set) Clears the CPU specified by cpu in the CPU-set set. Returns zero on success, and -1 if cpu is invalid. cpuset_isset(cpu, set) Checks if CPU specified by cpu is set in the CPU-set set. Returns the positive number if set, zero if not set, and -1 if cpu is invalid. cpuset_size(set) Returns the size in bytes of CPU-set specified by set. SEE ALSO
affinity(3), pset(3), sched(3), schedctl(8), kcpuset(9) HISTORY
The dynamic CPU sets appeared in NetBSD 5.0. BSD
