- * \brief Hardware information
- *
- * Since liblzma can consume a lot of system resources, it also provides
- * ways to limit the resource usage. Applications linking against liblzma
- * need to do the actual decisions how much resources to let liblzma to use.
- * To ease making these decisions, liblzma provides functions to find out
- * the relevant capabilities of the underlaying hardware. Currently there
- * is only a function to find out the amount of RAM, but in the future there
- * will be also a function to detect how many concurrent threads the system
- * can run.
- *
- * \note On some operating systems, these function may temporarily
- * load a shared library or open file descriptor(s) to find out
- * the requested hardware information. Unless the application
- * assumes that specific file descriptors are not touched by
- * other threads, this should have no effect on thread safety.
- * Possible operations involving file descriptors will restart
- * the syscalls if they return EINTR.
