* \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 underlaying 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.
