These functions may manipulate sets of CPUs that contain many processes or per-object anonymous masks that effect only a single object. .Pp The valid values for the .Fa level and .Fa which arguments are documented in .Xr cpuset 2 . These arguments specify which object and which set of the object we are referring to. Not all possible combinations are valid. For example, only processes may belong to a numbered set accessed by a .Fa level argument of .Dv CPU_LEVEL_CPUSET . All resources, however, have a mask which may be manipulated with .Dv CPU_LEVEL_WHICH . .Pp Masks of type .Ft cpuset_t are composed using the .Dv CPU_SET macros. The kernel tolerates large sets as long as all CPUs specified in the set exist. Sets smaller than the kernel uses generate an error on calls to .Fn cpuset_getaffinity even if the result set would fit within the user supplied set. Calls to .Fn cpuset_setaffinity tolerate small sets with no restrictions. .Pp The supplied mask should have a size of .Fa setsize bytes. This size is usually provided by calling .Li sizeof(mask) which is ultimately determined by the value of .Dv CPU_SETSIZE as defined in .In sys/cpuset.h . .Pp .Fn cpuset_getaffinity retrieves the mask from the object specified by .Fa level , .Fa which and .Fa id and stores it in the space provided by .Fa mask . .Pp .Fn cpuset_setaffinity attempts to set the mask for the object specified by .Fa level , .Fa which and .Fa id to the value in .Fa mask . .Sh RETURN VALUES .Rv -std .Sh ERRORS The following error codes may be set in .Va errno : .Bl -tag -width Er .\" When changing this list, consider updating share/man/man3/pthread_create.3, .\" since that function can return any of these errors. .It Bq Er EINVAL The .Fa level or .Fa which argument was not a valid value. .It Bq Er EINVAL The .Fa mask argument specified when calling .Fn cpuset_setaffinity was not a valid value. .It Bq Er EDEADLK The .Fn cpuset_setaffinity call would leave a thread without a valid CPU to run on because the set does not overlap with the thread's anonymous mask. .It Bq Er EFAULT The mask pointer passed was invalid. .It Bq Er ESRCH The object specified by the .Fa id and .Fa which arguments could not be found. .It Bq Er ERANGE The .Fa cpusetsize was either preposterously large or smaller than the kernel set size. .It Bq Er EPERM The calling process did not have the credentials required to complete the operation. .It Bq Er ECAPMODE The calling process attempted to act on a process other than itself, while in capability mode.
