CURPROC(9)						   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual						CURPROC(9)

NAME
     curproc, curcpu, curlwp -- current process, processor, and LWP

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/proc.h>

     struct cpu_info *
     curcpu(void);

     struct proc *
     curproc(void);

     struct lwp *
     curlwp(void);

DESCRIPTION
     The following macros can be used to retrieve the current processor, process, and light-weight process (LWP), respectively:

	   1.	The machine-dependent curcpu() macro returns a pointer to a cpu_info structure containing information of the CPU that this thread
		is running on.

	   2.	The machine-independent curproc() macro refers to a pointer to the process currently running on this CPU.

	   3.	The curlwp() macro expands to a pointer to lwp structure, containing information about the current LWP.  This macro is machine-
		independent, but machine-dependent <machine/cpu.h> may redefine it.
