NAME

       pthread_attr_setschedparam,  pthread_attr_getschedparam  -  set/get  scheduling  parameter  attributes in
       thread attributes object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_attr_setschedparam(pthread_attr_t *attr,
                                      const struct sched_param *param);
       int pthread_attr_getschedparam(pthread_attr_t *attr,
                                      struct sched_param *param);

       Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION

       The pthread_attr_setschedparam()  function  sets  the  scheduling  parameter  attributes  of  the  thread
       attributes  object  referred to by attr to the values specified in the buffer pointed to by param.  These
       attributes determine the scheduling parameters of a thread created using  the  thread  attributes  object
       attr.

       The  pthread_attr_getschedparam()  returns  the  scheduling parameter attributes of the thread attributes
       object attr in the buffer pointed to by param.

       Scheduling parameters are maintained in the following structure:

           struct sched_param {
               int sched_priority;     /* Scheduling priority */
           };

       As can be seen, only one scheduling parameter is supported.  For details  of  the  permitted  ranges  for
       scheduling priorities in each scheduling policy, see sched_setscheduler(2).

       In  order  for  the  parameter  setting  made by pthread_attr_setschedparam() 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.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, these functions return 0; on error, they return a nonzero error number.

ERRORS

       POSIX.1  documents  EINVAL and ENOTSUP errors for pthread_attr_setschedparam().  On Linux these functions
       always succeed (but portable and future-proof applications should nevertheless handle  a  possible  error
       return).

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

       See pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(3) for a list of the thread scheduling policies supported on Linux.
