qthread_num_workers(3)

💖 qthread_num_workers(3) — libqthread edition 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're talking about qthread_num_workers from libqthread and honestly? she's a simple queen. no drama, no flags, no chaos. just vibes and a number. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

qthread_num_workers — returns the number of workers 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qthread.h>

qthread_worker_id_t
qthread_num_workers ();

like. that's it. that's the whole thing. no arguments, no config, she just exists. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, this function returns the number of workers. that's the whole job. that's her main character moment. 🔥

and here's the lil ✨detail✨ you actually need to remember, bestie — this value is one larger than the largest valid worker id. so if you're out here thinking "oh i'll just loop from 0 to num_workers inclusive" — NO MA'AM. 🙈 the ids stop one before that. the number is the count, not the highest id. it's giving "fenceposts vs fence panels" energy, iykyk. 💀

write it on your mirror, put it in your notes app, text it to your group chat: count ≠ max id. periodt. 👑
