31<h4>DESCRIPTION</h4>
32<ul>
33penable enables a collection of cpus for execution. This collection
34is a set of cpus, specified through either the <a
35href="flag_cpu.html">-cpu</a> flag or, alternatively
36<i>cpu-mask</i>, which is a bitmask corresponding to cpus
37numbered 63 through 0, most significant bit to least.
38<p>
39If no argument is given, penable will list all enabled strands.
40<p>
41pdisable disables a collection of cpus. This collection is specified
42using the <a href="flag_cpu.html">-cpu</a> or a cpu mask as with penable.
43A disabled strand is simply stalled for an infinite
44amount of time.
45Take care that least one cpu is enabled to guarantee forward progress.
46<p>
47If no argument is given, pdisable will list all disabled strands.
