NAME
pthread_attr_setschedpolicy, pthread_attr_getschedpolicy - set/get
scheduling policy attribute in thread attributes object
SYNOPSIS

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

attr.
The supported values for
policy
are
SCHED_FIFO,
SCHED_RR,
and
SCHED_OTHER,
with the semantics described in
sched_setscheduler(2).
The
pthread_attr_getschedpolicy()
returns the scheduling policy attribute of the thread attributes object
attr
in the buffer pointed to by
policy.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return 0;
on error, they return a nonzero error number.
ERRORS
pthread_attr_setschedpolicy()
can fail with the following error:
- EINVAL
-
Invalid value in
policy.
POSIX.1-2001 also documents an optional
ENOTSUP
error ("attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value") for
pthread_attr_setschedpolicy().
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
