Can I determine the number of cpus via system call?

Is there a system call that will allow one to determine the number of
active cpus?

In Solaris is there a system call 'processor_info', which will tell
you if a particular processor ID is online or off-line, and if online
some information about it. I'd like to try to get similar information
from within a C program under Tru64.
