32.Nd "manage NUMA policy configuration"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS

36.Op Fl m Ar domain
37.Op Fl c Ar domain
38.Ar cmd ...

48.Op Fl p Ar pid
49.Op Fl t Ar tid
50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Nm
53command can be used to assign NUMA policies to processes/threads,
54run commands with a given NUMA policy, and query information
55about NUMA policies on running processes.
56.Pp
57.Nm
58requires a target to modify or query.
59The target may be specified as a command, process id or a thread id.
60Using
61.Fl -get
62the target's NUMA policy may be queried.
63Using
64.Fl -set
65the target's NUMA policy may be queried.
66If no target is specified,
67.Nm
68operates on itself.
69Not all combinations of operations and targets are supported.
70For example,
71you may not set the id of an existing set or query and launch a command
72at the same time.
73.Pp
74Each process and thread has a NUMA policy.
75By default the policy is NONE.
76If a thread policy is NONE, then the policy will fall back to the process.
77If the process policy is NONE, then the policy will fall back to the
78system default.
79The policy may be queried by using
80.Fl -get.
81.Pp
82The options are as follows:
83.Bl -tag -width ".Fl -cpudomain Ar domain"
84.It Fl -cpudomain Ar domain , Fl c Ar domain
85Set the given CPU scheduling policy.
86Constrain the the object (tid, pid, command) to run on CPUs
87that belong to the given domain.
88.It Fl -get , Fl g
89Retrieve the NUMA policy for the given thread or process id.
90.It Fl -set , Fl s
91Set the NUMA policy for the given thread or process id.
92.It Fl -memdomain Ar domain , Fl m Ar domain
93Constrain the object (tid, pid, command) to the given
94domain.
95This is only valid for fixed-domain and fixed-domain-rr.
96It must not be set for other policies.
97.It Fl -mempolicy Ar policy , Fl l Ar policy
98Set the given memory allocation policy.
99Valid policies are none, rr, fixed-domain, fixed-domain-rr,
100first-touch, and first-touch-rr.
101A memdomain argument is required for fixed-domain and
102fixed-domain-rr.
103.It Fl -pid Ar pid , Fl p Ar pid
104Operate on the given pid.
105.It Fl -tid Ar tid , Fl t Ar tid
106Operate on the given tid.
107.El
108.Sh EXIT STATUS
109.Ex -std
110.Sh EXAMPLES
111Create a
112.Pa /bin/sh
113process with memory coming from domain 0, but
114CPUs coming from domain 1:
115.Dl numactl --mempolicy=fixed-domain --memdomain=0 --cpudomain=1 /bin/sh
116.Pp
117Query the NUMA policy for the
118.Aq sh pid :
119.Dl numactl --get --pid=<sh pid>
120.Pp
121Set the NUMA policy for the given TID to round-robin:
122.Dl numactl --set --mempolicy=rr --tid=<tid>
