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

       #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).

VERSIONS         top

       This function is available since glibc 2.6.

ATTRIBUTES         top

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;
