DESCRIPTION
The nproc
utility is used to print the
number of processors limited to the
cpuset(2) of the current process, unless the
--all
flag is specified.
The available flags are:
--all
- Count all processors currently online.
--ignore
=count- The result is decreased by count, but never below 1.
--version
- Print the current program version and exit. Do not use this option.
--help
- Print usage information and exit.
COMPATIBILITY
This program is intended to be compatible with nproc as found in GNU coreutils.
BUGS
If HyperThreading is enabled in BIOS and disabled in the kernel,
the --all
option on Linux will still report all
possible CPU threads. On FreeBSD only active threads will be reported.

utility first appeared in
