NAME
lgrp_init - initialize lgroup interface SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -llgrp [ library... ] #include <sys/lgrp_user.h> lgrp_cookie_t lgrp_init(lgrp_view_t view); The lgrp_init() function initializes the lgroup interface and takes a snapshot of the lgroup hierarchy with the given view. If the given view is LGRP_VIEW_CALLER, the snapshot contains only the resources that are available to the caller (for example, with respect to processor sets). When the view is LGRP_VIEW_OS, the snapshot contains what is available to the operating system. Given the view, lgrp_init() returns a cookie representing this snapshot of the lgroup hierarchy. This cookie should be used with other rou- tines in the lgroup interface needing the lgroup hierarchy. The lgrp_fini(3LGRP) function should be called with the cookie when it is no longer needed. The lgroup hiearchy represents the latency topology of the machine. The hierarchy is simplified to be a tree and can be used to find the nearest resources. The lgroup hiearchy consists of a root lgroup, which is the maximum bounding locality group of the system, contains all the CPU and memory resources of the machine, and may contain other locality groups that contain CPUs and memory within a smaller locality. The leaf lgroups contain resources within the smallest latency. The resources of a given lgroup come directly from the lgroup itself or from leaf lgroups contained within the lgroup. Leaf lgroups directly contain their own resources and do not encapsulate any other lgroups. The lgroup hierarchy can be used to find the nearest resources. From a given lgroup, the closest resources can be found in the lgroup itself. After that, the next nearest resources can be found in its parent lgroup, and so on until the root lgroup is reached where all the resources of the machine are located. Upon successful completion, lgrp_init() returns a cookie. Otherwise it returns LGRP_COOKIE_NONE and sets errno to indicate the error. The lgrp_init() function will fail if: EINVAL The view is not valid. ENOMEM There was not enough memory to allocate the snapshot of the lgroup hierarchy.

NAME
lgrp_resources - get lgroup resources of given lgroup SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file... -llgrp [ library ... ] #include <sys/lgrp_user.h> int lgrp_resources(lgrp_cookie_t cookie, lgrp_id_t lgrp, lgrp_id_t *lgrpids, uint_t count, lgrp_rsrc_t type); The lgrp_resources() function takes a cookie representing a snapshot of the lgroup hierarchy obtained from lgrp_init(3LGRP) and returns the number of resources in the lgroup specified by lgrp. The resources are represented by a set of lgroups in which each lgroup directly contains CPU and/or memory resources. The type argument should be set to one of the following values to specify whether the CPU or memory resources should be returned: LGRP_RSRC_CPU /* CPU resources */ LGRP_RSRC_MEM /* Memory resources */ If the lgrpids[] argument is non-null and the count argument is non-zero, lgrp_resources() stores up to the specified count of lgroup IDs into the lgrpids[] array. Upon successful completion, lgrp_resources() returns the number of lgroup resources. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. The lgrp_resources() function will fail if: EINVAL The specified cookie, lgroup ID, or type is not valid. ESRCH The specified lgroup ID was not found.
