sched_getaffinity error no is 14???

Show some code

EFAULT
    A supplied memory address was invalid

Apparently you are passing some incorrect memory address as parameter to sched_getaffinity.

Also you can use perror() to print the error message.

Actulayy I am using this function in Delphi and I have converted as
type
  PCardinal = ^cardinal;

function sched_getaffinity(pid: cardinal; len: cardinal;var mask: PCardinal): Integer; cdecl;

hi,
maybe you treat the mask parameter as a value and not as a pointer to a value and so the memory address is invalid?

Pointer to a value means pass by reference??
If yes then in delphi VAR indicated the parameter is passed by reference.

what happens if you remove the var keyword or keeping var but define mask as cardinal instead of PCardinal?

in both the case retune value is -1 with errorno 14.

and can you tell what is the value of mask you pass?

I don't pass anything but even if I pass 1 then the same return value -1 and one more thing the mask value remain 1 after the function is executed.

I suppose this "1" is treated like a pointer. Can you try to pass a pointer and not a direct value.

Sorry I couldn't understand. What you mean by pointer and not direct value.

Could you post some parts of your code, including where you call sched_getaffinity method?

This code I have defined in one file
 pid_t = Integer;
function sched_getaffinity(pid: pid_t; len: Cardinal; var mask: Cardinal): Integer; cdecl;

the other file comtains
  hCurrentProcessHandle: Integer;
  dwProcessAffinity: Cardinal;
  dwProcessAffinitySize: Cardinal;
  ReturnValue: Integer;

      dwProcessAffinitySize := Sizeof(dwProcessAffinity);
      hCurrentProcessHandle := getpid;
      ReturnValue := sched_getaffinity(hCurrentProcessHandle, dwProcessAffinitySize, dwProcessAffinity);

Since dwProcessAffinity is pass by reference so I have not initialize it.

Hm, by looking to this page: http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man2/sched_getaffinity.2.html
I think that the mask parameter has to have some value and its significance is described in the link. There is also written that "Usually, all bits in the mask are set." so you can try to set all bits to 1.
Also I think it's better to remove var keyword and try to pass a pointer.

I tried by using pointers and set all the bits to1 but still the return value is -1.

Could you post the modified code?

This code I have defined in one file
 pid_t = Integer;
PCardinal = ^Cardinal;

function sched_getaffinity(pid: pid_t; len: Cardinal; mask: PCardinal): Integer; cdecl;

other file:
hCurrentProcessHandle: Integer;
  dwProcessAffinity: PCardinal;
  dwProcessAffinitySize: Cardinal;
  ReturnValue: Integer;

      dwProcessAffinitySize := Sizeof(dwProcessAffinity);
      hCurrentProcessHandle := getpid;
      ReturnValue := sched_getaffinity(hCurrentProcessHandle, dwProcessAffinitySize, dwProcessAffinity);

Thanks a lot WelkinMaze  for the help.

For nothing. :)
Did you get it working?

yep it's working great :)...

Great! I'm glad I've helped you. :)

Thanks :)
