Count number of CPU's on HPUX from a c program 1

[naki76]

Hello-
I am attempting to count the number of processors on any given HPUX machine from within a c program. This could also be brought in from a script which runs the program. The program/script cannot be run from root access and thus I do not know if this is possible.

You can see how many processors with an ioscan, try something like

#ioscan -kfn | grep processor | wc -l

I'm not sure(no system to test), but maybe there is a class for processor, i.e

#ioscan -kfnC processor | wc -l

Hope this helps
