15*33de042dSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
16*33de042dSApple OSS Distributions[in host-name send right]
17*33de042dSApple OSS DistributionsThe name (or control) port for the host on
18*33de042dSApple OSS Distributionswhich the set is to be created.

20*33de042dSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
21*33de042dSApple OSS Distributions[out processor-set-control send right]
22*33de042dSApple OSS DistributionsControl port used for performing
23*33de042dSApple OSS Distributionsoperations on the new set.

25*33de042dSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
26*33de042dSApple OSS Distributions[out processor-set-name send right]
27*33de042dSApple OSS DistributionsName port used to identify the new
28*33de042dSApple OSS Distributionsset and obtain information about it.

30*33de042dSApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
31*33de042dSApple OSS Distributions<p>
32*33de042dSApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>processor_set_create</strong> function creates a new processor
33*33de042dSApple OSS Distributionsset and returns the
34*33de042dSApple OSS Distributionstwo ports associated with it.  The port returned in <var>new_set</var> is the control port
35*33de042dSApple OSS Distributionsrepresenting the set.  It is used to perform operations such
36*33de042dSApple OSS Distributionsas assigning processors,
37*33de042dSApple OSS Distributionstasks or threads.  The port returned in <var>new_name</var> is the name port which
38*33de042dSApple OSS Distributionsidentifies the set, and is used to obtain information about the set.
39*33de042dSApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
