This routine obtains and returns the value of the "concurrency level" global setting for the calling thread's process. Because the Threads Library automatically manages the concurrency of all threads in a multithreaded process, it ignores this concurrency level value. The concurrency level value has no effect on the behavior of a multithreaded program that uses the Threads Library. This routine is provided for Single UNIX Specification, Version 2, source code compatibility and has no other effect when called. The initial concurrency level is zero (0), indicating that the Threads Library controls the concurrency level. The concurrency level can be set using the pthread_ setconcurrency() routine.
