get_nprocs, get_nprocs_conf - get number of processors

#include <sys/sysinfo.h>
int get_nprocs(void);
int get_nprocs_conf(void);

The function get_nprocs_conf() returns the number of processors configured by the operating system.

The function get_nprocs() returns the number of processors currently available in the system. This may be less than the number returned by get_nprocs_conf() because processors may be offline (e.g., on hotpluggable systems).

As given in DESCRIPTION.

The following example shows how get_nprocs() and get_nprocs_conf() can be used.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/sysinfo.h>
int
main(void)
{
    printf("This system has %d processors configured and "
            "%d processors available.\n",
            get_nprocs_conf(), get_nprocs());
    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
