NAME

6       pthread_setschedprio - set scheduling priority of a thread
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <pthread.h>
10
11       int pthread_setschedprio(pthread_t thread, int prio);
12
13       Compile and link with -pthread.
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The pthread_setschedprio() function sets the scheduling priority of the
17       thread  thread  to  the  value  specified  in   prio.    (By   contrast
18       pthread_setschedparam(3)  changes both the scheduling policy and prior‐
19       ity of a thread.)
20

RETURN VALUE

22       On success, this function returns 0; on error,  it  returns  a  nonzero
23       error number.  If pthread_setschedprio() fails, the scheduling priority
24       of thread is not changed.
25

ERRORS

27       EINVAL prio is not valid for the scheduling  policy  of  the  specified
28              thread.
29
30       EPERM  The caller does not have appropriate privileges to set the spec‐
31              ified priority.
32
33       ESRCH  No thread with the ID thread could be found.
34
35       POSIX.1 also documents an ENOTSUP ("attempt was made to set the  prior‐
36       ity to an unsupported value") error for pthread_setschedparam(3).

VERSIONS

39       This function is available in glibc since version 2.3.4.
