NAME
pthread_getschedparam, pthread_setschedparam - access dynamic thread scheduling parameters SYNOPSIS
cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ library... ] #include <pthread.h> int pthread_getschedparam(pthread_t thread, int *restrict policy, struct sched_param *restrict param); int pthread_setschedparam(pthread_t thread, int policy, const struct sched_param *param); DESCRIPTION
The pthread_getschedparam() and pthread_setschedparam() functions allow the scheduling policy and scheduling parameters of individual threads within a multithreaded process to be retrieved and set. Supported policies are : SCHED_OTHER traditional time-sharing scheduling class SCHED_FIFO real-time class: run to completion SCHED_RR real-time class: round-robin SCHED_IA interactive time-sharing class SCHED_FSS fair-share scheduling class SCHED_FX fixed priority scheduling class See pthreads(5). The affected scheduling parameter is the sched_priority member of the sched_param structure. The pthread_getschedparam() function retrieves the scheduling policy and scheduling parameters for the thread whose thread ID is given by thread and stores those values in policy and param, respectively. The priority value returned from pthread_getschedparam() is the value specified by the most recent pthread_setschedparam() or pthread_create() call affecting the target thread, and does not reflect any tempo- rary adjustments to its priority as a result of any priority inheritance or ceiling functions. The pthread_setschedparam() function sets the scheduling policy and associated scheduling parameters for the thread whose thread ID is given by thread to the policy and associated parameters provided in policy and param, respectively. If the pthread_setschedparam() function fails, no scheduling parameters will be changed for the target thread. RETURN VALUES
If successful, the pthread_getschedparam() and pthread_setschedparam() functions return 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indi- cate the error. ERRORS
The pthread_getschedparam() and pthread_gsetschedparam() functions will fail if: ESRCH The value specified by thread does not refer to an existing thread. The pthread_setschedparam() function will fail if: EINVAL The value specified by policy or one of the scheduling parameters associated with the scheduling policy policy is invalid. EPERM The caller does not have the appropriate permission to set either the scheduling parameters or the scheduling policy of the spec- ified thread. ATTRIBUTES

NAME
pthread_setschedparam, pthread_getschedparam - control thread scheduling parameters SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h> int pthread_setschedparam(pthread_t target_thread, int policy, const struct sched_param *param); int pthread_getschedparam(pthread_t target_thread, int *policy, struct sched_param *param); DESCRIPTION
pthread_setschedparam sets the scheduling parameters for the thread target_thread as indicated by policy and param. policy can be either SCHED_OTHER (regular, non-realtime scheduling), SCHED_RR (realtime, round-robin) or SCHED_FIFO (realtime, first-in first-out). param spec- ifies the scheduling priority for the two realtime policies. See sched_setpolicy(2) for more information on scheduling policies. The realtime scheduling policies SCHED_RR and SCHED_FIFO are available only to processes with superuser privileges. pthread_getschedparam retrieves the scheduling policy and scheduling parameters for the thread target_thread and store them in the loca- tions pointed to by policy and param, respectively. RETURN VALUE
pthread_setschedparam and pthread_getschedparam return 0 on success and a non-zero error code on error. ERRORS
On error, pthread_setschedparam returns the following error codes: EINVAL policy is not one of SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_RR, SCHED_FIFO EINVAL the priority value specified by param is not valid for the specified policy EPERM the calling process does not have superuser permissions ESRCH the target_thread is invalid or has already terminated EFAULT param points outside the process memory space On error, pthread_getschedparam returns the following error codes: ESRCH the target_thread is invalid or has already terminated EFAULT policy or param point outside the process memory space AUTHOR
