PTHREAD_GETCONCURRENCY(3P) POSIX Programmer's ManualPTHREAD_GETCONCURRENCY(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       pthread_getconcurrency, pthread_setconcurrency — get and set the	 level
       of concurrency

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_getconcurrency(void);
       int pthread_setconcurrency(int new_level);

DESCRIPTION
       Unbound	threads in a process may or may not be required to be simulta‐
       neously active. By default, the threads implementation ensures  that  a
       sufficient  number  of  threads are active so that the process can con‐
       tinue to make progress. While this conserves system resources,  it  may
       not produce the most effective level of concurrency.

       The  pthread_setconcurrency()  function allows an application to inform
       the threads implementation of its desired concurrency level, new_level.
       The  actual  level  of  concurrency provided by the implementation as a
       result of this function call is unspecified.

       If new_level is zero, it causes the implementation to maintain the con‐
       currency	 level	at  its	 discretion as if pthread_setconcurrency() had
       never been called.

       The pthread_getconcurrency() function shall return the value set	 by  a
       previous	  call	 to  the  pthread_setconcurrency()  function.  If  the
       pthread_setconcurrency() function was not previously called, this func‐
       tion shall return zero to indicate that the implementation is maintain‐
       ing the concurrency level.

       A call to pthread_setconcurrency() shall inform the  implementation  of
       its  desired concurrency level.	The implementation shall use this as a
       hint, not a requirement.

       If an implementation does not support multiplexing of user  threads  on
       top  of several kernel-scheduled entities, the pthread_setconcurrency()
       and pthread_getconcurrency() functions are  provided  for  source  code
       compatibility  but  they	 shall have no effect when called. To maintain
       the  function  semantics,  the  new_level  parameter  is	  saved	  when
       pthread_setconcurrency()	 is  called  so	 that  a  subsequent  call  to
       pthread_getconcurrency() shall return the same value.

RETURN VALUE
       If successful, the pthread_setconcurrency() function shall return zero;
       otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

       The  pthread_getconcurrency()  function shall always return the concur‐
       rency level set by a previous call to pthread_setconcurrency().	If the
       pthread_setconcurrency()	 function  has never been called, pthread_get‐
       concurrency() shall return zero.

ERRORS
       The pthread_setconcurrency() function shall fail if:

       EINVAL The value specified by new_level is negative.

       EAGAIN The value specified by new_level would cause a  system  resource
	      to be exceeded.

       The pthread_setconcurrency() function shall not return an error code of
       [EINTR].

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       Application developers should note that an  implementation  can	always
       ignore  any calls to pthread_setconcurrency() and return a constant for
       pthread_getconcurrency().  For this reason, it is not recommended  that
       portable applications use this function.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       These functions may be removed in a future version.
