3 | * \brief Hardware information
|
---|
4 | *
|
---|
5 | * Since liblzma can consume a lot of system resources, it also provides
|
---|
6 | * ways to limit the resource usage. Applications linking against liblzma
|
---|
7 | * need to do the actual decisions how much resources to let liblzma to use.
|
---|
8 | * To ease making these decisions, liblzma provides functions to find out
|
---|
9 | * the relevant capabilities of the underlying hardware. Currently there
|
---|
10 | * is only a function to find out the amount of RAM, but in the future there
|
---|
11 | * will be also a function to detect how many concurrent threads the system
|
---|
12 | * can run.
|
---|
13 | *
|
---|
14 | * \note On some operating systems, these function may temporarily
|
---|
15 | * load a shared library or open file descriptor(s) to find out
|
---|
16 | * the requested hardware information. Unless the application
|
---|
17 | * assumes that specific file descriptors are not touched by
|
---|
18 | * other threads, this should have no effect on thread safety.
|
---|
19 | * Possible operations involving file descriptors will restart
|
---|
20 | * the syscalls if they return EINTR.
