Section (2) sched_setparam
Name
sched_setparam, sched_getparam — set and get scheduling parameters
Synopsis
#include <sched.h>
int
sched_setparam( |
pid_t pid, |
const struct sched_param *param) ; |
int
sched_getparam( |
pid_t pid, |
struct sched_param *param) ; |
struct sched_param { ... int sched_priority; ... };
DESCRIPTION
sched_setparam
() sets the
scheduling parameters associated with the scheduling policy
for the thread whose thread ID is specified in pid
. If pid
is zero, then the
parameters of the calling thread are set. The interpretation
of the argument param
depends on the scheduling policy of the thread identified by
pid
. See sched(7) for a description
of the scheduling policies supported under Linux.
sched_getparam
() retrieves
the scheduling parameters for the thread identified by
pid
. If pid
is zero, then the
parameters of the calling thread are retrieved.
sched_setparam
() checks the
validity of param
for
the scheduling policy of the thread. The value param−>sched_priority
must lie within the range given by sched_get_priority_min(2)
and sched_get_priority_max(2).
For a discussion of the privileges and resource limits related to scheduling priority and policy, see sched(7).
POSIX systems on which sched_setparam
() and sched_getparam
() are available define
_POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING
in
<
unistd.h
>
RETURN VALUE
On success, sched_setparam
()
and sched_getparam
() return 0.
On error, −1 is returned, and errno
is set appropriately.
ERRORS
- EINVAL
-
Invalid arguments:
param
is NULL orpid
is negative - EINVAL
-
(
sched_setparam
()) The argumentparam
does not make sense for the current scheduling policy. - EPERM
-
(
sched_setparam
()) The caller does not have appropriate privileges (Linux: does not have theCAP_SYS_NICE
capability). - ESRCH
-
The thread whose ID is
pid
could not be found.
