## Detailed Description

For use in hwloc itself, a hwloc_cpuset_t represents a set of logical processors.

Note:
  cpusets are indexed by OS logical processor number.

## Define Documentation

#define hwloc_cpuset_foreach_begin | ( | cpu,
|  | set |  | ) |

Loop macro iterating on CPU set `set`.

`cpu` is the loop variable; it should be an unsigned int. The first iteration will set `cpu` to the lowest index CPU in the set. Successive iterations will iterate through, in order, all remaining CPUs that in the set. To be specific: each iteration will return a value for `cpu` such that hwloc_cpuset_isset(set, cpu) is true.

#define hwloc_cpuset_foreach_end | ( |  | ) |

End of loop. Needs a terminating ';'.
