54.Sh DESCRIPTION
55The
56.Nm
57command can be used to control and inspect processor sets.
58.Pp
59The system always contains at least one processor set: the default
60set.
61The default set must contain at least one online processor (CPU) at
62all times.
63.Pp
64Available options:
65.Bl -tag -width indent
66.It Fl a
67Assign one or more processors (CPUs) to the set
68.Ar setid .
69In the current implementation, a CPU may only be present in one set.
70CPU IDs are as reported and used by the
71.Xr cpuctl 8
72command.
73.It Fl b
74Bind one or more processes to the set
75.Ar setid .
76All LWPs within the processes will be affected.
77Bindings are inherited when new LWPs or processes are forked.
78However, setting a new binding on a parent process does not affect the
79bindings of its existing child processes.
80.It Fl c
81Create a new processor set.
82If successful, the ID of the new set will be printed.
83If a list of CPU IDs is provided, those CPUs will be assigned to the set
84upon creation.
85Otherwise, the set will be created empty.
86.It Fl d
87Delete the processor set specified by
88.Ar setid .
89Any LWPs bound to the set will be re-bound to the default processor set.
90.It Fl e
91Execute a command within the processor set specified by
92.Ar setid .
93.It Fl i
94List all processor sets.
95For each set, print the member CPUs.
96If
97.Nm
98is run without any options, it behaves as if
99.Fl i
100were given.
101.It Fl p
102List all CPUs.
103For each CPU, print the associated processor set.
104.It Fl r
105Remove a CPU from its current set, and return it back to the default
106processor set.
107.It Fl u
108Bind the specified processes to the system default processor set.
