NAME
       pthread_gettimeslice_np(),  pthread_settimeslice_np()  -  set  or get the scheduling timeslice value for PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS threads with
       SCHED_TIMESHARE scheduling policy

SYNOPSIS
PARAMETERS
	      tslice	This parameter specifies the timeslice value in milliseconds to be set.

DESCRIPTION
       The functions are used to set and retrieve the timeslice value in milliseconds for timeshare process scope threads.   The  timeslice  value
       will not take into effect until the current time quantum is used up for the thread.

       sets the timeslice value to tslice for all timeshare process scope threads in the process.

       retrieves the process' timeslice value.	tslice may range between 0 and

RETURN VALUE
       returns the current timeslice value in tslice.

       Upon successful completion, returns zero. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error (the variable is not set).

ERRORS
       If any of the following occur, the function returns the following error number:

	      [EINVAL]	     The timeslice value was negative or greater than

WARNINGS
       Setting the timeslice value lesser than the default timeslice value may cause a performance deterioration.
