45 function allows an application to inform the threads implementation

53 level at its discretion as if
54 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency
57 .Fn pthread_getconcurrency
58 function returns the value set by a previous call to the
59 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency
62 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency
63 function was not previously called, this function returns zero to
64 indicate that the implementation is maintaining the concurrency
66 When an application calls
67 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency ,
68 it is informing the implementation of its desired concurrency
70 The implementation uses this as a hint, not a requirement.
73 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency
74 function returns zero.
75 Otherwise, an error number is returned
76 to indicate the error.
78 .Fn pthread_getconcurrency
79 function always returns the concurrency level set by a previous

101 .Sh APPLICATION USAGE
102 Use of these functions changes the state of the underlying
103 concurrency upon which the application depends.
104 Library developers are advised to not use the
105 .Fn pthread_getconcurrency
107 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency
108 functions since their use may conflict with an application's
109 use of these functions.
