The set of thread is dynamic because worker threads are started and terminated depending on guest activity.

If you really cannot use it, you can still look at its source code to understand how it does what it does. See qemuProcessDetectVcpuPIDs() in libvirt and the QEMU query-cpus QMP command. Stefan
