-Returns the number of processors being utilized.
+The count of processors in the system.
@subheading DESCRIPTION:
-The @code{rtems_smp_get_processor_count} routine is used to obtain the
-number of processor cores being utilized.
+On uni-processor configurations a value of one will be returned.
+
+On SMP configurations this returns the value of a global variable set during
+system initialization to indicate the count of utilized processors. The
+processor count depends on the physically or virtually available processors and
+application configuration. The value will always be less than or equal to the
+maximum count of application configured processors.
