NAME

6       pthread_setschedprio - set scheduling priority of a thread
7

LIBRARY

9       POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)
10

SYNOPSIS

12       #include <pthread.h>
13
14       int pthread_setschedprio(pthread_t thread, int prio);
15

DESCRIPTION

17       The pthread_setschedprio() function sets the scheduling priority of the
18       thread  thread  to  the  value  specified  in   prio.    (By   contrast
19       pthread_setschedparam(3)  changes both the scheduling policy and prior‐
20       ity of a thread.)
21

RETURN VALUE

23       On success, this function returns 0; on error, it returns a nonzero er‐
24       ror  number.   If pthread_setschedprio() fails, the scheduling priority
25       of thread is not changed.
26

ERRORS

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