NAME
pthread_attr_setschedpolicy - Changes the scheduling policy attribute of the specified thread attributes object.
LIBRARY
DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h> int pthread_attr_setschedpolicy( pthread_attr_t *attr, int policy);
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface
PARAMETERS
Thread attributes object to be modified. New value for the scheduling policy attribute. Valid values are as follows: SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, SCHED_FG_NP (also known as SCHED_OTHER), SCHED_BG_NP SCHED_OTHER is the default value.
DESCRIPTION
This routine sets the scheduling policy of a thread that is created using the attributes object specified by the attr argument. The default value of the scheduling attribute is SCHED_OTHER. By default, a created thread inherits the priority of the thread calling pthread_create(3). To specify a policy using this routine, sched- uling inheritance must be disabled at the time the thread is created. Before calling pthread_create(3), call pthread_attr_setinher- itsched(3) and specify the value PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED for the inherit argument. Never attempt to use scheduling as a mechanism for synchronization.
RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows: Successful completion. The value specified by policy is invalid.
ERRORS
None
