posix_spawnattr_getrunmask()

Gets a bit mask of processors on which to run the spawned program.

Synopsis:

#include <posix_spawnattr.h>

int posix_spawnattr_getrunmask(
       const posix_spawnattr_t *_Restrict attrp,
       uint32_t *_Restrict runmask_p);

Arguments:

attrp

A spawn file attribute object.

runmask_p

If you specify POSIX_SPAWN_EXPLICIT_CPU in the flags_p member, the child process's runmask and inherit mask are set to the value of this member. For more information, see the Multicore Processing User's Guide.

Library:

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Description:

Retrieves a bit mask of processors on which the spawned program should be restricted to run on. Processor numbering starts at 0, with each processor corresponding to a bit in the runmask.

This setting takes effect only if the POSIX_SPAWN_EXPLICIT_CPU flag is set. The default mask is 0xFFFFFFFFU, indicating that the spawned process can run on any processor. The default value can also be retrieved with a function call to posix_spawnattr_getrunmask() using an initialized posix_spawnattr_t object.

For example, runmask == 0x00000005 would indicate that the spawned process is restricted to CPUs 0 and 2.

---

This function is a QNX Neutrino extension to posix_spawnattr_t().

Returns:

The process ID of the child process, or -1 if an error occurs (errno is set).

Errors:

EINVAL

If there are any parameter errors.

EOK

Success.

Classification:

QNX Neutrino RTS
