SCHED_SETPARAM(2) Linux Programmer’s Manual SCHED_SETPARAM(2)
NAME
sched_setparam, sched_getparam - set and get scheduling parameters
SYNOPSIS
#include <sched.h>
int sched_setparam(pid_t pid, const struct sched_param *p);
int sched_getparam(pid_t pid, struct sched_param *p);
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 cur-
rent process are set. The interpretation of the parameter p depends on the selected
policy. Currently, the following three scheduling policies are supported under
Linux: SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, and SCHED_OTHER.
sched_getparam retrieves the scheduling parameters for the process identified by
pid. If pid is zero, then the parameters of the current process are retrieved.
sched_setparam checks the validity of p for the scheduling policy of the process.
The parameter p->sched_priority must lie within the range given by sched_get_prior-
ity_min and sched_get_priority_max.
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,
errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
ESRCH The process whose ID is pid could not be found.
EPERM The calling process does not have appropriate privileges. The process call-
ing sched_setparam needs an effective uid equal to the euid or uid of the
process identified by pid, or it must be a superuser process.
EINVAL The parameter p does not make sense for the current scheduling policy.
