get_nprocs question

[Andreas Jaeger]

What exactly is the semantics of get_nprocs, the manual states:
The @code{get_nprocs} function returns the number of available processors.

Does available mean the number of all processors the kernel runs on?
Or does it mean the number of CPUs upon which the process and its
children will be permitted to execute?

In the latter case we can use the sched_getaffinity system call for
get_nprocs if it's available.  If this is ok, I'll prepare a patch...
