.TH IM_CONCURRENCY 3 "8 January 2007"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
im_concurrency_set, im_concurrency_get \- set and get the number of threads to
|
|
use for evaluation
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <vips/vips.h>
|
|
|
|
void im_concurrency_set( int concurrency )
|
|
.br
|
|
int im_concurrency_get( void )
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.B im_concurrency_set(3)
|
|
and
|
|
.B im_concurrency_get(3)
|
|
set and get the number of parallel threads VIPS should use to calculate
|
|
pixels.
|
|
|
|
A value of zero (the default) means to get the number of threads
|
|
from the environment variable IM_CONCURRENCY. If that is not set, the number
|
|
of threads defaults to one.
|
|
|
|
Setting the number of threads only affects image evaluations which start after
|
|
that point, it will not change the behaviour of existing evaluations.
|
|
|
|
Most command-line vips programs support the --vips-concurrency flag, which can
|
|
also be used to set the concurrency.
