How do I get the current number of MKL threads

Hi, I'm trying to make a section of code that runs with a certain number of MKL threads without affecting the number of MKL threads used in other sections of the code. To do this I want to store the status of the MKL_DYNAMIC and the MKL_NUM_THREADS parameters at a given moment in time.

I know that I can use the calls mkl_set_num_threads and mkl_set_dynamic to define the number of threads used by MKL, and that there's a mkl_get_dynamic() call, however there's no mkl_get_num_threads(), there's only a mkl_get_max_threads(). 

Why is it a max and not a num? Is there a way to get the current number of mkl threads? Is it reliable to use the omp_get_num_threads to know this?

Thanks for your help.
