💖 PTASKSET 💖

okay bestie, so this is ptaskset — a lil tool that sets or gets the affinity of a process, and it comes from python-schedutils. it's giving "I know exactly which CPU you belong on" energy and honestly? iconic. 💅

Affinity = which CPU(s) your process is allowed to hang out on. ptaskset = the matchmaker. periodt. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ptaskset [options] [mask | cpu-list] [pid | cmd [args...]]

like yes, that's a lot of brackets, breathe. it's just options, then the CPU stuff, then who you're doing it to. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -p, --pid — operate on an existing given pid. so instead of launching something new, you're like "hey, that process that's already running? yeah, her." 👑
  • -c, --cpu-list — display and specify cpus in list format. so instead of a big ol' mask, you just say which CPUs you want, cute and readable. 🦋
  • -h, --help — display help. the classic. when in doubt, ask for help. no shame, we've all been there. 🙈
