Is RLI single threaded? - Shooter3k - 11-27-2020
Can someone please clarify if the rli util is a single threaded application or not? I assume it is because of this:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
379 home 20 0 5715904 4.8g 504 R 100.0 15.0 2:02.72 rli.bin
Assuming it is, is there any known applications that are multithreaded? Since rli seems to only want to use a single thread, pretty much the machine (except for that 1 core) sits idle when I process files. I'm running off an NVMe drive and would love to use it's full potential.
Thanks for any information you're able to provide.

Yes, rli is currently single-threaded. rling will use as many cores as you can throw at it (until bound by raw I/O):

Note that in its current form, if you want strict preservation of the order of the original file, you'd have to limit rling to a single thread:
