cpu_get_current(3)cpu_get_current(3)NAMEcpu_get_current - Return the caller's current CPU ID (libc library)
SYNOPSIS
#include <cpuset.h>
cpuid_t cpu_get_current(
void );
PARAMETERS
The cpu_get_current() function has no parameters.
DESCRIPTION
The cpu_get_current() function fetches the ID of the CPU on which the
caller is executing.
NOTES
This function is similar to the following call:
getsysinfo(GSI_CPU_CURRENT, &cpuid, ...);
However, cpu_get_current() returns the CPU identifier directly (as type
cpuid_t), whereas the getsysinfo() call stores the identifier into a
buffer (as type long) whose address is passed to the function.
RESTRICTIONS
As is true for many system information queries, the data returned by
cpu_get_current() may be stale by the time it is returned to or used by
the caller. In other words, a context switch to a different CPU can
occur after the “current CPU” has been fetched by the application.
RETURN VALUES
The cpu_get_current() function returns the CPU ID of the processor
where the caller is executing. This function always completes success‐
fully.
ERRORS
None.
