Description

       The pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() function sets the scheduling policy attribute of the thread  attributes
       object  referred  to  by attr to the value specified in policy.  This attribute determines the scheduling
       policy of a thread created using the thread attributes object attr.

       The supported values for policy are SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, and SCHED_OTHER, with the  semantics  described
       in sched(7).

       The pthread_attr_getschedpolicy() returns the scheduling policy attribute of the thread attributes object
       attr in the buffer pointed to by policy.

       In  order  for  the  policy  setting  made  by  pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() to have effect when calling
       pthread_create(3), the caller must  use  pthread_attr_setinheritsched(3)  to  set  the  inherit-scheduler
       attribute of the attributes object attr to PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED.

Errors

pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() can fail with the following error:

       EINVAL Invalid value in policy.

       POSIX.1  also  documents  an  optional  ENOTSUP  error  ("attempt  was  made  to  set the attribute to an
       unsupported value") for pthread_attr_setschedpolicy().

       See pthread_setschedparam(3).
