ne_set_encl...ads_per_core(9)

💅 ne_set_encl...ads_per_core(9) — from the Kernel API Manual bestie 🎀

okay so you opened the manual page for ne_set_enclave_threads_per_core(9) and honestly? iconic of you. this is the one that sets the threads of the core you hand it, right there in the enclave data structure. let's get into it ✨

---

🦋 NAME

ne_set_enclave_threads_per_core — sets the threads of the core you pass in, inside the enclave data structure. that's the whole vibe, no cap 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

int ne_set_enclave_threads_per_core (struct ne_enclave *ne_enclave , int
core_id , u32 vcpu_id );

look at her. returns an int, takes three things, done 🌸

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS

• ne_enclave — the private data associated with the current enclave. like, this enclave's personal stuff 🫶
• core_id — the core id you wanna grab the threads from, out of the NE CPU pool ✨
• vcpu_id — the vCPU id that's part of the core you provided 🎀

---

💜 CONTEXT

Process context, bestie 💅 and listen — this function gets called with the ne_enclave and ne_cpu_pool mutexes held. both of them. locked. so don't be out here calling it wherever, iykyk 🔒

---

🔥 RETURN

• 0 on success 🎉
• a negative return value on failure 😭
