Section (1) chrt
Name
chrt — manipulate the real-time attributes of a process
Synopsis
chrt
[options] priority
command [ argument... ]
chrt
[options] −p
[priority] pid
DESCRIPTION
chrt sets or
retrieves the real-time scheduling attributes of an existing
pid
, or runs
command
with the
given attributes.
POLICIES
−o
,−−other
-
Set scheduling policy to
SCHED_OTHER
. This is the default Linux scheduling policy. −f
,−−fifo
-
Set scheduling policy to
SCHED_FIFO
. −r
,−−rr
-
Set scheduling policy to
SCHED_RR
. When no policy is defined, theSCHED_RR
is used as the default. −b
,−−batch
-
Set scheduling policy to
SCHED_BATCH
(Linux-specific, supported since 2.6.16). The priority argument has to be set to zero. −i
,−−idle
-
Set scheduling policy to
SCHED_IDLE
(Linux-specific, supported since 2.6.23). The priority argument has to be set to zero. −d, −−deadline
-
Set scheduling policy to
SCHED_DEADLINE
(Linux-specific, supported since 3.14). The priority argument has to be set to zero. See also−−sched−runtime
,−−sched−deadline
and−−sched−period
. The relation between the options required by the kernel is runtime <= deadline <= period. chrt copies period to deadline if−−sched−deadline
is not specified and deadline to runtime if−−sched−runtime
is not specified. It means that at least−−sched−period
has to be specified. See sched(7) for more details.
SCHEDULING OPTIONS
−T
,−−sched−runtime
nanoseconds-
Specifies runtime parameter for SCHED_DEADLINE policy (Linux-specific).
−P
,−−sched−period
nanoseconds-
Specifies period parameter for SCHED_DEADLINE policy (Linux-specific).
−D
,−−sched−deadline
nanoseconds-
Specifies deadline parameter for SCHED_DEADLINE policy (Linux-specific).
−R
,−−reset−on−fork
-
Add
SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK
flag to theSCHED_FIFO
orSCHED_RR
scheduling policy (Linux-specific, supported since 2.6.31).
OPTIONS
−a, −−all−tasks
-
Set or retrieve the scheduling attributes of all the tasks (threads) for a given PID.
−m, −−max
-
Show minimum and maximum valid priorities, then exit.
−p, −−pid
-
Operate on an existing PID and do not launch a new task.
−v, −−verbose
-
Show status information.
−V, −−version
-
Display version information and exit.
−h, −−help
-
Display help text and exit.
USAGE
- The default behavior is to run a new command:
-
chrt
priority
command
[arguments] - You can also retrieve the real-time attributes of an existing task:
-
chrt −p
pid
- Or set them:
-
chrt −r −p priority pid
PERMISSIONS
A user must possess CAP_SYS_NICE
to change the scheduling
attributes of a process. Any user can retrieve the scheduling
information.
NOTES
Only SCHED_FIFO
,
SCHED_OTHER
and SCHED_RR
are part of POSIX 1003.1b Process
Scheduling. The other scheduling attributes may be ignored on
some systems.
Linux_zsingle_quotesz_ default scheduling policy is SCHED_OTHER
.
