25*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
26*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributions<p>
27*e13b1fa5SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>thread_assign</strong> function assigns <strong>thread</strong> to the set
28*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributions<var>processor_set</var>.  After the
29*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributionsassignment is completed, the thread executes only on processors
30*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributionsthat are assigned
31*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributionsto that processor set.  Any previous assignment of the thread is nullified.
32*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
33*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributions<p>
34*e13b1fa5SApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
