36.Sh NAME
37.Nm usched_set
38.Nd setting up a proc's usched
39.Sh LIBRARY
40.Lb libc
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.In sys/types.h
43.In sys/usched.h
44.Ft int
45.Fn usched_set "pid_t pid" "int cmd" "void *data" "int bytes"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Fn usched_set
49function is used to perform several user scheduler tasks.
50These tasks include: setting the user scheduler, assigning an LWP to a
51specific CPU, adding a CPU to the available CPUs for an LWP,
52and removing a CPU from the list of available CPUs for an LWP.
53The
54.Fn usched_set
55function requires superuser privileges for all commands except
56.Dv USCHED_GET_CPU
57and
58.Dv USCHED_GET_CPUMASK .
59.Pp
60The
61.Fa cmd
62argument specifies the action for
63.Fn usched_set
64to take:
65.Bl -tag -width ".Dv USCHED_SET_SCHEDULER"
66.It Dv USCHED_SET_SCHEDULER
67set the user scheduler where
68.Fa data
69is a
70.Vt char *
71that contains the name of the user scheduler.
72.It Dv USCHED_SET_CPU
73assign the LWP to the cpuid pointed to by
74.Fa data .
75.It Dv USCHED_GET_CPU
76copy the LWP's CPU ID to the cpuid pointed to by
77.Fa data .
78.It Dv USCHED_GET_CPUMASK
79copy the LWP's CPU mask to the cpumask_t type pointed to by
80.Fa data .
81.It Dv USCHED_SET_CPUMASK
82set the LWP's CPU mask to the cpumask_t type pointed to by
83.Fa data .
84.It Dv USCHED_ADD_CPU
85add the cpuid specified by
86.Fa data
87to the list of available CPUs for the LWP.
88.It Dv USCHED_DEL_CPU
89remove the cpuid specified by
90.Fa data
91from the list of available CPUs for the LWP.

93.Sh RETURN VALUES
94.Rv -std
95.Sh ERRORS
96The function will fail if:
97.Bl -tag -width Er
98.It Bq Er EINVAL
99The user scheduler to set is not in the list of available user schedulers.
100The
101.Fa bytes
102argument is not the correct size
103.Vt ( int )
104for a cpuid.
105The specified cpuid is not set in
106.Va smp_active_mask .
107.Fa Cmd
108contains an unknown value.
109.It Bq Er EFBIG
110The specified cpuid is not a valid cpuid for the system.
111.It Bq Er EPERM
112Deleting the specified cpuid leaves the LWP without a CPU to run on.

129.Sh BUGS
130Only
131.Fa pid
132equals current LWP PID or 0 is implemented.
133The current LWP PID is used for
134.Fa pid
135when
136.Fa pid
137is 0.
138One would normally only use 0 for
139.Fa pid .
