-.SH NAME
-pthread_setconcurrency, pthread_getconcurrency \- set/get
-the concurrency level
-.SH LIBRARY
-POSIX threads library
-.RI ( libpthread ", " \-lpthread )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <pthread.h>
-.P
-.BI "int pthread_setconcurrency(int " new_level );
-.BI "int pthread_getconcurrency(" void );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR pthread_setconcurrency ()
-function informs the implementation of the application's
-desired concurrency level, specified in
-.IR 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
-.BR pthread_setconcurrency ().
-.P
-Specifying
-.I new_level
-as 0 instructs the implementation to manage the concurrency level
-as it deems appropriate.
-.P
-.BR pthread_getconcurrency ()
-returns the current value of the concurrency level for this process.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success,
-.BR pthread_setconcurrency ()
-returns 0;
-on error, it returns a nonzero error number.
-.P
-.BR pthread_getconcurrency ()
-always succeeds, returning the concurrency level set by a previous call to
-.BR pthread_setconcurrency (),
-or 0, if
-.BR pthread_setconcurrency ()
-has not previously been called.
-.SH ERRORS
-.BR pthread_setconcurrency ()
-can fail with the following error:
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-.I new_level
-is negative.
-.P
-POSIX.1 also documents an
-.B EAGAIN
-error ("the value specified by
-.I new_level
-would cause a system resource to be exceeded").

-.SH STANDARDS
-POSIX.1-2008.
-.SH HISTORY
-glibc 2.1.
-POSIX.1-2001.
-.SH NOTES
-The default concurrency level is 0.
-.P
-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.
-.P
-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.
