Please allow me to follow up here and agree. Common sense should prevail
and in the true sense of UNIX and Linux philosophy a tool does one thing
and does that one thing well. It should need to hand hold the user with
common sense.
Should NOT need to hand hold the user.
Also gnulib is not what I call portable. So if the sysconf/getconf calls
are not around to give us _NPROCESSORS_ONLN or even _NPROCESSORS_CONF
then no way should some hack attempt be made to extract that data. No
promise the data is available at all in a portable manner anyways and
get_nprocs_conf should be entirely avoided.
