NAME

       pthread_attr_setschedpolicy, pthread_attr_getschedpolicy - set/get scheduling policy attribute in thread attributes object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(pthread_attr_t *attr, int policy);
       int pthread_attr_getschedpolicy(const pthread_attr_t *attr, int *policy);

       Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION

       The  pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() function sets the scheduling policy attribute of the thread attributes object referred to by attr to the
       value specified in policy.  This attribute determines the scheduling policy of a thread created using the thread attributes object attr.

       The supported values for policy are SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, and SCHED_OTHER, with the semantics described in sched(7).

       The pthread_attr_getschedpolicy() returns the scheduling policy attribute of the thread attributes object attr in the buffer pointed to	by
       policy.

       In  order  for  the policy setting made by pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() to have effect when calling pthread_create(3), the caller must use
       pthread_attr_setinheritsched(3) to set the inherit-scheduler attribute of the attributes object attr to PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, these functions return 0; on error, they return a nonzero error number.

ERRORS

       pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() can fail with the following error:

       EINVAL Invalid value in policy.

       POSIX.1	also  documents  an  optional  ENOTSUP	error  ("attempt  was  made  to  set  the  attribute  to  an   unsupported   value")   for
       pthread_attr_setschedpolicy().
