Function list (Bold in this list means a function is not static)

/* t_sched_setaffinity.c

   Usage: t_sched_setaffinity pid mask

   Set the CPU affinity of the process identified by 'pid' according
   to the given 'mask'. For example, the following specifies that the
   given process should run on any but the first CPU of a 4-CPU system:

        t_sched_setaffinity <pid> 0xe

                (0xe = 1110 binary)

   See also t_sched_getaffinity.c.

   This program is Linux-specific. The CPU affinity system calls are provided
   since kernel 2.6.

Note that, in most cases, the programs rendered in these web pages are not free standing: you'll typically also need a few other source files (mostly in the lib/ subdirectory) as well. Generally, it's easier to just download the entire source tarball and build the programs with make(1). By hovering your mouse over the various hyperlinked include files and function calls above, you can see which other source files this file depends on.
