What is the indication of async-threads when starting iex?
What is the indication of async-threads when starting iex?
I couldn’t found anything on the web. I have 8 cores on my machine
and when I launch iex, it prints out async-threads:1
Is there a way to manually increase it?

Possibly, but what problem are you hitting exactly?

Since OTP 21 none of the built-in things use async threads (they migrated to dirty schedulers and dirty NIFs), so it doesn’t make much sense to spawn those threads. There’s still one of them in case you have some custom linked-in port drivers using them.
On previous versions the file ports were using async threads.

What is it what you want to do? Not how you suspect to be able to do it, but what itself is the problem you are attempting to solve? (See the XY problem)
dom
System.cmd spawns external processes. They don’t run inside the Erlang VM, so they don’t use async threads.
