* \brief Hardware information
*
* Since liblzma can consume a lot of system resources, it also provides
* ways to limit the resource usage. Applications linking against liblzma
* need to do the actual decisions how much resources to let liblzma to use.
* To ease making these decisions, liblzma provides functions to find out
* the relevant capabilities of the underlaying hardware. Currently there
* is only a function to find out the amount of RAM, but in the future there
* will be also a function to detect how many concurrent threads the system
* can run.
*
* \note On some operating systems, these function may temporarily
* load a shared library or open file descriptor(s) to find out
* the requested hardware information. Unless the application
* assumes that specific file descriptors are not touched by
* other threads, this should have no effect on thread safety.
* Possible operations involving file descriptors will restart
* the syscalls if they return EINTR.
