[ \fIlibrary\fR... ] #include \fBint\fR \fBpthread_getschedparam\fR(\fBpthread_t\fR \fIthread\fR, \fBint *restrict\fR \fIpolicy\fR, \fBstruct sched_param *restrict\fR \fIparam\fR); .fi .LP .nf \fBint\fR \fBpthread_setschedparam\fR(\fBpthread_t\fR \fIthread\fR, \fBint\fR \fIpolicy\fR, \fBconst struct sched_param *\fR\fIparam\fR); .fi .SH DESCRIPTION .sp .LP The \fBpthread_getschedparam()\fR and \fBpthread_setschedparam()\fR functions allow the scheduling policy and scheduling parameters of individual threads within a multithreaded process to be retrieved and set. Supported policies are : .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBSCHED_OTHER\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n .rt traditional time-sharing scheduling class .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBSCHED_FIFO\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n .rt real-time class: run to completion .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBSCHED_RR\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n .rt real-time class: round-robin .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBSCHED_IA\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n .rt interactive time-sharing class .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBSCHED_FSS\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n .rt fair-share scheduling class .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBSCHED_FX\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n .rt fixed priority scheduling class .RE .sp .LP See \fBpthreads\fR(5). The affected scheduling parameter is the \fIsched_priority\fR member of the \fBsched_param\fR structure. .sp .LP The \fBpthread_getschedparam()\fR function retrieves the scheduling policy and scheduling parameters for the thread whose thread \fBID\fR is given by \fIthread\fR and stores those values in \fIpolicy\fR and \fIparam\fR, respectively. The priority value returned from \fBpthread_getschedparam()\fR is the value specified by the most recent \fBpthread_setschedparam()\fR or \fBpthread_create()\fR call affecting the target thread, and does not reflect any temporary adjustments to its priority as a result of any priority inheritance or ceiling functions. The \fBpthread_setschedparam()\fR function sets the scheduling policy and associated scheduling parameters for the thread whose thread \fBID\fR is given by \fIthread\fR to the policy and associated parameters provided in \fIpolicy\fR and \fIparam\fR, respectively. .sp .LP If the \fBpthread_setschedparam()\fR function fails, no scheduling parameters will be changed for the target thread. .SH RETURN VALUES .sp .LP If successful, the \fBpthread_getschedparam()\fR and \fBpthread_setschedparam()\fR functions return \fB0\fR. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error. .SH ERRORS .sp .LP The \fBpthread_getschedparam()\fR and \fBpthread_gsetschedparam()\fR functions will fail if: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBESRCH\fR\fR .ad .RS 9n .rt The value specified by \fIthread\fR does not refer to an existing thread. .RE .sp .LP The \fBpthread_setschedparam()\fR function will fail if: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBEINVAL\fR\fR .ad .RS 10n .rt The value specified by \fIpolicy\fR or one of the scheduling parameters associated with the scheduling policy \fIpolicy\fR is invalid. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBEPERM\fR\fR .ad .RS 10n .rt The caller does not have the appropriate permission to set either the scheduling parameters or the scheduling policy of the specified thread. .RE .SH ATTRIBUTES .sp .LP See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: .sp .sp .TS tab() box; cw(2.75i) |cw(2.75i) lw(2.75i) |lw(2.75i) .
