nproc(1)

💅 nproc(1) — General Commands Manual 🎀

okay bestie, say hi to nproc, the lil cutie from the General Commands Manual section of the manual. she counts cores. that's the whole job. and she ate. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

nproc — print the number of cores available to the current process. and listen, if the OMP_NUM_THREADS or OMP_THREAD_LIMIT environment variables are set, then they will determine the minimum and maximum returned value respectively. so basically the env vars get a vote too. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nproc [--all] [--ignore] [-h|--help] [-V|--version]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

bestie it literally just prints the number of cores available to the current process. that's it, that's the vibe. 🌈

and fr fr, if the OMP_NUM_THREADS or OMP_THREAD_LIMIT environment variables are set, then they will determine the minimum and maximum returned value respectively. so OMP_NUM_THREADS sets your floor, OMP_THREAD_LIMIT sets your ceiling, and nproc lives somewhere in between. iconic behaviour honestly. 👑

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --all — print the number of cores available to the system. like, the whole system, not just what your lil process is allowed to touch. main character energy, system-wide. 🫶
• --ignore <N> — ignore up to N cores. yes literally just subtract up to N of them from the count. 🙈
• -h, --help — Print help. she's helpful AND pretty. 💁
• -V, --version — Print version. gotta know which era of nproc you're living in. ⭐
