2.3 Function parcellfun_set_nproc

Loadable Function: nproc = parcellfun_set_nproc (nproc_arg)

Set current number of background processes for parcellfun.

The number of used background processes is determined by the first argument to parcellfun. If necessary, parcellfun will spawn new background processes, but it will never remove any of them, even if it does not use all of them. parcellfun_set_nproc can be used to set the number of currently spawned processes to nproc_arg. This may be used to remove all background processes between calls to parcellfun by specifying an nproc_arg of zero.

The real number of spawned processes will be limited to the available processor cores and is returned.
