+.Sh EXAMPLES
+In this example, a CPU set mask is configured to limit execution to the first
+CPU using
+.Xr CPU_ZERO 9
+and
+.Xr CPU_SET 9 ,
+members of the
+.Xr cpuset 9
+programming interface.
+Then, the mask is applied to a new anonymous CPU set associated with the
+current process using
+.Xr cpuset_setaffinity 2 .
+This mask will be used by the current process, and inherited by any new
+child processes.

+In the next example, a named CPU set is created containing the current
+process, and its affinity similarly configured.
+The resulting CPU set ID can then be used for further external management of
+the affinity of the set.
