Then maps the bytes in cpumask + to a cpu_set_t and uses :man:`pthread_setaffinity_np(3)`. On Windows, maps + the bytes in cpumask to a bitmask and uses SetThreadAffinityMask() which + returns the previous affinity setting. + + The mask_size specifies the number of entries (bytes) in cpumask / oldmask, + and must be greater-than-or-equal-to :c:func:`uv_cpumask_size`. + + .. note:: + Thread affinity setting is not atomic on Windows.

The timeout parameter for :c:func:`uv_cond_timedwait` is relative to the time + at which function is called. + 3.
