RR_GET_INTERVAL(2) Linux Programmer's Manual RR_GET_INTERVAL(2) NAME
sched_rr_get_interval - get the SCHED_RR interval for the named process SYNOPSIS
#include <sched.h> int sched_rr_get_interval(pid_t pid, struct timespec *tp); struct timespec { time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */ long tv_nsec; /* nanoseconds */ }; DESCRIPTION
sched_rr_get_interval writes into the timespec structure pointed to by tp the round robin time quantum for the process identified by pid. If pid is zero, the time quantum for the calling process is written into *tp. The identified process should be running under the SCHED_RR scheduling policy. The round robin time quantum value is not alterable under Linux 1.3.81. POSIX systems on which sched_rr_get_interval is available define _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING in <unistd.h>. RETURN VALUE
On success, sched_rr_get_interval returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. ERRORS
ESRCH The process whose ID is pid could not be found. ENOSYS The system call is not yet implemented. CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1b (formerly POSIX.4) BUGS
As of Linux 1.3.81 sched_rr_get_interval returns with error ENOSYS, because SCHED_RR has not yet been fully implemented and tested prop- erly. SEE ALSO

sched_rr_get_interval - get the SCHED_RR interval for the named process SYNOPSIS
#include <sched.h> int sched_rr_get_interval(pid_t pid, struct timespec * tp); DESCRIPTION
sched_rr_get_interval() writes into the timespec structure pointed to by tp the round-robin time quantum for the process identified by pid. The specified process should be running under the SCHED_RR scheduling policy. The timespec structure has the following form: struct timespec { time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */ long tv_nsec; /* nanoseconds */ }; If pid is zero, the time quantum for the calling process is written into *tp. RETURN VALUE
On success, sched_rr_get_interval() returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. ERRORS
EFAULT Problem with copying information to user space. EINVAL Invalid pid. ENOSYS The system call is not yet implemented (only on rather old kernels). ESRCH Could not find a process with the ID pid. CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001. NOTES
POSIX systems on which sched_rr_get_interval() is available define _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING in <unistd.h>. Linux Notes POSIX does not specify any mechanism for controlling the size of the round-robin time quantum. Older Linux kernels provide a (nonportable) method of doing this. The quantum can be controlled by adjusting the process's nice value (see setpriority(2)). Assigning a negative (i.e., high) nice value results in a longer quantum; assigning a positive (i.e., low) nice value results in a shorter quantum. The default quantum is 0.1 seconds; the degree to which changing the nice value affects the quantum has varied somewhat across kernel versions. Since Linux 2.6.24, the SCHED_RR quantum cannot be modified. SEE ALSO
