52 level at its discretion as if
53 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency
56 .Fn pthread_getconcurrency
57 function returns the value set by a previous call to the
58 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency
61 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency
62 function was not previously called, this function returns zero to
63 indicate that the implementation is maintaining the concurrency
65 When an application calls
66 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency ,
67 it is informing the implementation of its desired concurrency
69 The implementation uses this as a hint, not a requirement.
72 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency
73 function returns zero.
74 Otherwise, an error number is returned
75 to indicate the error.
77 .Fn pthread_getconcurrency
78 function always returns the concurrency level set by a previous

100 .Sh APPLICATION USAGE
101 Use of these functions changes the state of the underlying
102 concurrency upon which the application depends.
103 Library developers are advised to not use the
104 .Fn pthread_getconcurrency
106 .Fn pthread_setconcurrency
107 functions since their use may conflict with an application's
108 use of these functions.
