SCHED_GETCPU(3)               Linux Programmer's Manual               SCHED_GETCPU(3)

NAME         top

       sched_getcpu - determine CPU on which the calling thread is running

SYNOPSIS         top

       #define _GNU_SOURCE         /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
       #include <sched.h>

       int sched_getcpu(void);

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).

VERSIONS         top

       This function is available since glibc 2.6.

CONFORMING TO         top

       sched_getcpu() is glibc specific.

NOTES         top

       The call

           cpu = sched_getcpu();

       is equivalent to the following getcpu(2) call:

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