/** * \file lzma/hardware.h * \brief Hardware information * * Since liblzma can consume a lot of system resources, it also provides * ways to limit the resource usage. Applications linking against liblzma * need to do the actual decisions how much resources to let liblzma to use. * To ease making these decisions, liblzma provides functions to find out * the relevant capabilities of the underlaying hardware. Currently there * is only a function to find out the amount of RAM, but in the future there * will be also a function to detect how many concurrent threads the system * can run. * * \note On some operating systems, these function may temporarily * load a shared library or open file descriptor(s) to find out * the requested hardware information. Unless the application * assumes that specific file descriptors are not touched by * other threads, this should have no effect on thread safety. * Possible operations involving file descriptors will restart * the syscalls if they return EINTR. */ /* * Author: Lasse Collin * * This file has been put into the public domain. * You can do whatever you want with this file. * * See ../lzma.h for information about liblzma as a whole. */ #ifndef LZMA_H_INTERNAL # error Never include this file directly.
