PTHREAD...URRENCY(3POSIX)

💖 PTHREAD...URRENCY(3POSIX) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this page lives in the POSIX Programmer's Manual, and its whole name is PTHREAD...URRENCY(3POSIX) (yes the title is literally truncated like that, no I'm not fixing it, that's just how it is 💅). Anyway. Sit down, hydrate, let's talk concurrency levels.

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

Real talk before we get into it: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. Two things to keep in your head:

• The Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so go check the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior. 👀
• Or, plot twist, the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all. Not every queen gets a stage, bestie. 💀

✨ NAME ✨

pthread_setconcurrency — set the level of concurrency 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_setconcurrency(int new_level);

That's it. That's the whole vibe. One function, one int, one dream. ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Refer to pthread_getconcurrency(). 🫶

That's literally what it says. This page is giving "go ask my sister" energy and honestly? Respect. Go read pthread_getconcurrency().
