--cpus option units

[dmd]

According to https://docs.sylabs.io/guides/main/user-guide/cgroups.html :

--cpus sets the number of CPUs, or fractional CPUs, that the container can use. The minimum is 0.01 or one tenth of a physical CPU. The maximum is the number of CPU cores on your system.

What are the units here? 0.01 seems to me like it's one hundredth of a physical CPU, not one tenth.

Thanks, we'll fix this. Hundredths is correct. The unit is a CPU (16 on this machine and the code knows the correct valid range if you try e.g. 0.009).
