PTHREAD_SCHEDPARAM(3) BSD Programmer's Manual PTHREAD_SCHEDPARAM(3)
pthread_setschedparam, pthread_getschedparam - thread scheduling parame-
ter manipulation
#include <pthread.h>
int
pthread_setschedparam(pthread_t thread, int policy,
const struct sched_param *param);
int
pthread_getschedparam(pthread_t thread, int *policy,
struct sched_param *param);
The pthread_setschedparam() and pthread_getschedparam() functions set and
get the scheduling parameters of individual threads. The scheduling poli-
cy for a thread can either be SCHED_FIFO (first in, first out) or
SCHED_RR (round-robin). The thread priority (accessed via param-
>sched_priority) must be at least PTHREAD_MIN_PRIORITY and no more than
PTHREAD_MAX_PRIORITY.
If successful, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an error number is
returned to indicate the error.
pthread_setschedparam() will fail if:
[EINVAL] Invalid value for policy.
[ENOTSUP] Invalid value for scheduling parameters.
[ESRCH] Non-existent thread thread.
pthread_getschedparam() will fail if:
[ESRCH] Non-existent thread thread.
pthread_setschedparam() and pthread_getschedparam() conform to Version 2
of the Single UNIX Specification
