+.Sh NAME
+.Nm cpuset_getaffinity ,
+.Nm cpuset_setaffinity
+.Nd manage CPU affinity
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/cpuset.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn cpuset_getaffinity "cpulevel_t level" "cpuwhich_t which" "id_t id" "size_t setsize" "cpuset_t *mask"
+.Ft int
+.Fn cpuset_setaffinity "cpulevel_t level" "cpuwhich_t which" "id_t id" "size_t setsize" "const cpuset_t *mask"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn cpuset_getaffinity
+and
+.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
+allow the manipulation of sets of CPUs available to processes, threads,
+interrupts and other resources.
+These functions may manipulate sets of CPUs that contain many processes
+or per-object anonymous masks that effect only a single object.
+.Pp
+The valid values for the
+.Fa level
+and
+.Fa which
+arguments are documented in
+.Xr cpuset 2 .
+These arguments specify which object and which set of the object we are
+referring to.
+Not all possible combinations are valid.
+For example, only processes may belong to a numbered set accessed by a
+.Fa level
+argument of
+.Dv CPU_LEVEL_CPUSET .
+All resources, however, have a mask which may be manipulated with
+.Dv CPU_LEVEL_WHICH .
+.Pp
+Masks of type
+.Ft cpuset_t
+are composed using the
+.Xr CPU_SET 2
+macros.
+The kernel tolerates large sets as long as all CPUs specified
+in the set exist.
+Sets smaller than the kernel uses generate an error on calls to
+.Fn cpuset_getaffinity
+even if the result set would fit within the user supplied set.
+Calls to
+.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
+tolerate small sets with no restrictions.
+.Pp
+The supplied mask should have a size of
+.Fa setsize
+bytes.
+This size is usually provided by calling
+.Li sizeof(mask)
+which is ultimately determined by the value of
+.Dv CPU_SETSIZE
+as defined in
+.In sys/cpuset.h .
+.Pp
+.Fn cpuset_getaffinity
+retrieves the
+mask from the object specified by
+.Fa level ,
+.Fa which
+and
+.Fa id
+and stores it in the space provided by
+.Fa mask .
+.Pp
+.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
+attempts to set the mask for the object specified by
+.Fa level ,
+.Fa which
+and
+.Fa id
+to the value in
+.Fa mask .
+.Pp
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Rv -std
+.Sh ERRORS
+The following error codes may be set in
+.Va errno :
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The
+.Fa level
+or
+.Fa which
+argument was not a valid value.
+.It Bq Er EDEADLK
+The
+.Fn cpuset_setaffinity
+call would leave a thread without a valid CPU to run on because the set
+does not overlap with the thread's anonymous mask.
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+The mask pointer passed was invalid.
+.It Bq Er ESRCH
+The object specified by the
+.Fa id
+and
+.Fa which
+arguments could not be found.
+.It Bq Er ERANGE
+The
+.Fa cpusetsize
+was either preposterously large or smaller than the kernel set size.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The calling process did not have the credentials required to complete the
+operation.
