NAME         top

       sched_getcpu - determine CPU on which the calling thread is
       running

LIBRARY         top

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <sched.h>

       int sched_getcpu(void);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
   feature_test_macros(7)):

       sched_getcpu():
           Since glibc 2.14:
               _GNU_SOURCE
           Before glibc 2.14:
               _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
                   /* _GNU_SOURCE also suffices */

DESCRIPTION         top

       sched_getcpu() returns the number of the CPU on which the calling
       thread is currently executing.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, sched_getcpu() returns a nonnegative CPU number.  On
       error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

       ENOSYS This kernel does not implement getcpu(2).

STANDARDS         top

HISTORY         top

       glibc 2.6.

NOTES         top

       The call

           cpu = sched_getcpu();

       is equivalent to the following getcpu(2) call:

           int c, s;
           s = getcpu(&c, NULL);
           cpu = (s == -1) ? s : c;
