PTHREAD_SCHEDPARAM(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_SCHEDPARAM(3) NAME
pthread_getschedparam, pthread_setschedparam -- thread scheduling parameter manipulation SYNOPSIS
#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 get and set the scheduling parameters of individual threads. The schedul- ing policy 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. RETURN VALUES
If successful, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error. ERRORS
pthread_getschedparam() will fail if: [ESRCH] Non-existent thread thread. pthread_setschedparam() will fail if: [EINVAL] Invalid value for policy. [ENOTSUP] Invalid value for scheduling parameters. [ESRCH] Non-existent thread thread. STANDARDS
pthread_setschedparam() and pthread_getschedparam() conform to Version 2 of the Single UNIX Specification (``SUSv2'') BSD

pthread_setschedparam, pthread_getschedparam -- thread scheduling parameter manipulation SYNOPSIS
#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); DESCRIPTION
The pthread_setschedparam() and pthread_getschedparam() functions set and get the scheduling parameters of individual threads. The schedul- ing policy for a thread can either be SCHED_FIFO (first in, first out), SCHED_RR (round-robin), or SCHED_OTHER (timesharing). Valid thread priorities (accessed via param->sched_priority) must be within the range returned by the sched_get_priority_min(2) and sched_get_priority_max(2) system calls. RETURN VALUES
If successful, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error. ERRORS
The pthread_setschedparam() function will fail if: [EINVAL] Invalid value for policy. [ENOTSUP] Invalid value for scheduling parameters. [ESRCH] Non-existent thread thread. The pthread_getschedparam() function will fail if: [ESRCH] Non-existent thread thread. SEE ALSO
