dworker

Adds or removes a thread from a workers group

Format: 

dworker { number | boolean }

Arguments: 

number

If positive, marks the thread of interest (TOI) as a worker thread by inserting it into the workers group.

boolean

If true, marks the TOI as a worker thread by inserting it into the workers group. If false, marks the thread as a nonworker thread by removing it from the workers group.

Description: 

The dworker command inserts or removes a thread from the workers group.

If number is 0 or false, this command marks the TOI as a nonworker thread by removing it from the workers group. If number is true or is a positive value, this command marks the TOI as a worker thread by inserting it in the workers group.

Moving a thread into or out of the workers group has no effect on whether the thread is a manager thread. Manager threads are threads that are created by the pthreads package to manage other threads; they never execute user code, and cannot normally be controlled individually. TotalView automatically inserts all threads that are not manager threads into the workers group.
