  42 .SH DESCRIPTION
  43 .LP
  44 \fBpbind\fR controls and queries bindings of processes and LWPs (lightweight
  45 processes) to processors. \fBpbind\fR can also remove processor bindings that
  46 were previously established.
  47 .sp
  48 .LP
  49 When an LWP is bound to a processor, it will be executed only by that processor
  50 except when the LWP requires a resource that is provided only by another
  51 processor. The binding is not exclusive, that is, the processor is free to
  52 execute other LWPs as well.
  53 .sp
  54 .LP
  55 Bindings are inherited, so new LWPs and processes created by a bound LWP will
  56 have the same binding. Binding an interactive shell to a processor, for
  57 example, binds all commands executed by the shell.
  58 .sp
  59 .LP
  60 The \fIprocessor_id\fR must be present and on-line. Use the
  61 \fBpsrinfo(1M)\fR command to determine which processors are
  62 available.
  63 .sp
  64 .LP
  65 Superusers may bind or unbind any process or LWP, while other users can bind or
  66 unbind any process or LWP for which they have permission to signal, that is,
  67 any process that has the same effective user ID as the user.
  68 .SH OPTIONS

  74 \fB\fB-b\fR \fIprocessor_id\fR\fR

  95 \fB\fB-q\fR\fR
  96 .ad
  97 .sp .6
  98 .RS 4n
  99 Displays the bindings of the specified processes or of all processes. If a
 100 process is composed of multiple LWPs which have different bindings and the LWPs
 101 are not explicitly specified, the bindings of only one of the bound LWPs will
 102 be displayed. The bindings of a subset of LWPs can be displayed by appending
 103 "/lwpids" to the process \fBID\fRs. Multiple LWPs may be selected using "-" and
 104 "," delimiters. See EXAMPLES.

 114 Displays the LWPs bound to the specified list of processors, or all LWPs with
 115 processor bindings. For processes composed of multiple LWPs, the bindings of
 116 individual LWPs will be displayed.
