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 process identified by pid. If pid is zero, then the parameters of the calling process are set. The interpretation of the argument param depends on the scheduling policy of the process identified by pid. See sched(7) for a description of the scheduling policies supported under Linux.
sched_getparam() retrieves the scheduling parameters for the process identified by pid. If pid is zero, then the parameters of the calling process 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 or pid is negative | ||
|
EINVAL |
(sched_setparam()) The argument param does not make sense for the current scheduling policy. | ||
|
EPERM |
(sched_setparam()) The calling process does not have appropriate privileges (Linux: does not have the CAP_SYS_NICE capability). | ||
|
ESRCH |
The process whose ID is pid could not be found. |
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
Scheduling parameters are in fact per-thread attributes on Linux; see sched(7).

Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.
Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.
Free Software
Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.
Free Books
The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.
Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
