|
|
* \brief Hardware information
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* Since liblzma can consume a lot of system resources, it also provides
|
||
|
|
* ways to limit the resource usage. Applications linking against liblzma
|
||
|
|
* need to do the actual decisions how much resources to let liblzma to use.
|
||
|
|
* To ease making these decisions, liblzma provides functions to find out
|
||
|
|
* the relevant capabilities of the underlaying hardware. Currently there
|
||
|
|
* is only a function to find out the amount of RAM, but in the future there
|
||
|
|
* will be also a function to detect how many concurrent threads the system
|
||
|
|
* can run.
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* \note On some operating systems, these function may temporarily
|
||
|
|
* load a shared library or open file descriptor(s) to find out
|
||
|
|
* the requested hardware information. Unless the application
|
||
|
|
* assumes that specific file descriptors are not touched by
|
||
|
|
* other threads, this should have no effect on thread safety.
|
||
|
|
* Possible operations involving file descriptors will restart
|
||
|
|
* the syscalls if they return EINTR.

* \brief Get the total amount of physical memory (RAM) in bytes
|

|

|
|
* This function may be useful when determining a reasonable memory
|

* usage limit for decompressing or how much memory it is OK to use
|
||
|
|
* for compressing.
|
||
|

|
* \return On success, the total amount of physical memory in bytes
|
||
|
|
* is returned. If the amount of RAM cannot be determined,
|
||
|
|
* zero is returned. This can happen if an error occurs
|
||
|
|
* or if there is no code in liblzma to detect the amount
|
||
|
|
* of RAM on the specific operating system.
