35 .Nd program to control CPUs
43 command can be used to control and inspect the state of CPUs in the system.
47 specifies the action to take.
49 .Bl -tag -width XofflineXcpunoX
51 Output information on the specified CPU's features and capabilities.
52 Not available on all architectures.
54 For each CPU in the system, display the current state and time of the last
57 Set the specified CPU off line.
59 Unbound LWPs (lightweight processes) will not be executed on the CPU
61 Bound LWPs will continue to be executed on the CPU, and device interrupts
62 routed to the CPU will continue to be handled.
63 A future release of the system may allow device interrupts to be re-routed
64 away from individual CPUs.
66 At least one CPU in the system must remain on line.
68 Set the specified CPU on line, making it available to run unbound LWPs.
71 .Bl -tag -width /dev/cpuctl -compact
81 command first appeared in
