Provided by: manpages-dev_4.15-1_all bug

NAME
       pthread_setschedprio - set scheduling priority of a thread


SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_setschedprio(pthread_t thread, int prio);

       Compile and link with -pthread.


DESCRIPTION
       The  pthread_setschedprio()  function  sets  the  scheduling  priority  of the thread thread to the value
       specified in prio.  (By contrast pthread_setschedparam(3) changes both the scheduling policy and priority
       of a thread.)


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


ERRORS
       EINVAL prio is not valid for the scheduling policy of the specified thread.

       EPERM  The caller does not have appropriate privileges to set the specified priority.

       ESRCH  No thread with the ID thread could be found.

       POSIX.1 also documents an ENOTSUP ("attempt was made to set the priority to an unsupported value")  error
       for pthread_setschedparam(3).


VERSIONS
       This function is available in glibc since version 2.3.4.
