.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sched.h>

\fBint\fR \fBsched_get_priority_max\fR(\fBint\fR \fIpolicy\fR);
.fi

\fBint\fR \fBsched_get_priority_min\fR(\fBint\fR \fIpolicy\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBsched_get_priority_max()\fR and \fBsched_get_priority_min()\fR functions return the appropriate maximum or minimum, respectfully, for the scheduling policy specified by \fIpolicy\fR.
