Description
The pthread_setschedprio() function sets the scheduling priority of the thread thread to the value
specified in prio. (By contrast pthread_setschedparam(3) changes both the scheduling policy and priority
of a thread.)
Errors
EINVALprio is not valid for the scheduling policy of the specified thread.
EPERM The caller does not have appropriate privileges to set the specified priority.
ESRCH No thread with the ID thread could be found.
POSIX.1 also documents an ENOTSUP ("attempt was made to set the priority to an unsupported value") error
for pthread_setschedparam(3).
History
glibc 2.3.4. POSIX.1-2001.
Library
POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)
Name
pthread_setschedprio - set scheduling priority of a thread
Notes
For a description of the permissions required to, and the effect of, changing a thread's scheduling
priority, and details of the permitted ranges for priorities in each scheduling policy, see sched(7).
Return Value
On success, this function returns 0; on error, it returns a nonzero error number. If
pthread_setschedprio() fails, the scheduling priority of thread is not changed.
