Are julia -p x and addprocs(x) equivalent?

I want to use multiple threads on multiple workers. Will the two sets of commands produce equivalent results?

export JULIA_NUM_THREADS=20
julia
addprocs(12)

export JULIA_NUM_THREADS=20
julia -p 12

Yes, I believe those are two ways to add 12 workers to the main process. You can check nprocs() to be sure.
