I must be a bloomin' idiot. What is the parameter to pass to sysconf()
for number of CPUs? I read the sysconf man page and didn't find anything
that looked correct.
As an aside, are the man-pages believable? The sysconf man page is
dated April 18, 1993!! I have man-pages-1.23-3.noarch.rpm on my
[RedHat 6.0] system.
Can you provide me a link to better glibc documentation if the man
pages are not trustworthy?
