PTHREAD_SETCONCURRENCY(3)inux Programmer's ManualHREAD_SETCONCURRENCY(3)
pthread_setconcurrency, pthread_getconcurrency - set/get the
concurrency level
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_setconcurrency(int new_level);
int pthread_getconcurrency(void);
Compile and link with -pthread.
The pthread_setconcurrency() function informs the implementation
of the application's desired concurrency level, specified in
new_level. The implementation takes this only as a hint: POSIX.1
does not specify the level of concurrency that should be provided
as a result of calling pthread_setconcurrency().
Specifying new_level as 0 instructs the implementation to manage
the concurrency level as it deems appropriate.
pthread_getconcurrency() returns the current value of the
concurrency level for this process.
On success, pthread_setconcurrency() returns 0; on error, it
returns a nonzero error number.
pthread_getconcurrency() always succeeds, returning the
concurrency level set by a previous call to
pthread_setconcurrency(), or 0, if pthread_setconcurrency() has
not previously been called.
pthread_setconcurrency() can fail with the following error:
EINVAL new_level is negative.
POSIX.1 also documents an EAGAIN error ("the value specified by
new_level would cause a system resource to be exceeded").
These functions are available in glibc since version 2.1.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
The default concurrency level is 0.
Concurrency levels are meaningful only for M:N threading
implementations, where at any moment a subset of a process's set
of user-level threads may be bound to a smaller number of kernel-
scheduling entities. Setting the concurrency level allows the
application to give the system a hint as to the number of kernel-
scheduling entities that should be provided for efficient
execution of the application.
Both LinuxThreads and NPTL are 1:1 threading implementations, so
setting the concurrency level has no meaning. In other words, on
Linux these functions merely exist for compatibility with other
systems, and they have no effect on the execution of a program.
