PROLOG

       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       pthread_attr_getschedparam, pthread_attr_setschedparam - get and set the schedparam attribute

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_attr_getschedparam(const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr,
	      struct sched_param *restrict param);
       int pthread_attr_setschedparam(pthread_attr_t *restrict attr,
	      const struct sched_param *restrict param);

DESCRIPTION

       The pthread_attr_getschedparam(), and pthread_attr_setschedparam() functions, respectively, shall get  and  set	the  scheduling  parameter
       attributes  in the attr argument. The contents of the param structure are defined in the <sched.h> header.  For the SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR
       policies, the only required member of param is sched_priority.

       For the SCHED_SPORADIC policy, the required members of the param structure are sched_priority, sched_ss_low_priority, sched_ss_repl_period,
       sched_ss_init_budget,  and  sched_ss_max_repl.  The  specified  sched_ss_repl_period  must  be  greater	than  or  equal  to  the specified
       sched_ss_init_budget for the function to succeed; if it is not, then the function shall fail.  The  value  of  sched_ss_max_repl  shall	be
       within the inclusive range [1, {SS_REPL_MAX}] for the function to succeed; if not, the function shall fail.

RETURN VALUE

       If  successful,	the  pthread_attr_getschedparam() and pthread_attr_setschedparam() functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number
       shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The pthread_attr_setschedparam() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The value of param is not valid.

       ENOTSUP
	      An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       After these attributes have been set, a thread can be created with the specified attributes using pthread_create().  Using  these  routines
       does not affect the current running thread.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
