.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.Nm Rtprio
|
||
|
|
is used for controlling realtime process scheduling. A process with a
|
||
|
|
realtime priority is not subject to priority degradation, and will only
|
||
|
|
be preempted by another process of equal or higher realtime priority.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.Nm Rtprio
|
||
|
|
called without arguments, will return the realtime priority
|
||
|
|
of the current process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Nm rtprio
|
||
|
|
is called with 1 argument, it will return the realtime priority
|
||
|
|
of the process with the specified
|
||
|
|
.Ar pid .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Ar priority
|
||
|
|
is specified, the process or program is run at that realtime priority.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Ar -t
|
||
|
|
is specified, the process or program is run as a normal (non-realtime)
|
||
|
|
process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Ar -pid
|
||
|
|
is specified, the process with that pid will be modified, else
|
||
|
|
if
|
||
|
|
.Ar command
|
||
|
|
is specified, that program is run with its arguments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.Ar Priority
|
||
|
|
is an integer between 0 (RTPRIO_MIN) and 31 (RTPRIO_MAX). 0 is the
|
||
|
|
highest priority
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.Ar Pid
|
||
|
|
of 0 means "the current process".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Only root is allowed to set realtime priorities.
|
||
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUE
|
||
|
|
.Nm rtprio
|
||
|
|
returns the (new) realtime priority of the process (see rtprio(2)), or
|
||
|
|
-1 for all usage errors.
|
||
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
||
|
|
.\LP
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To see which realtime priority the current process is at:
|
||
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
||
|
|
\fBrtprio\fP
|
||
|
|
.Ed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.\.LP
|
||
|
|
To see which realtime priority of process \fI1423\fP:
|
||
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
||
|
|
\fBrtprio 1423\fP
|
||
|
|
.Ed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.\.LP
|
||
|
|
To run \fIcron\fP at the lowest realtime priority:
|
||
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
||
|
|
\fBrtprio 31 cron\fP
|
||
|
|
.Ed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.\.LP
|
||
|
|
To change the realtime priority of process \fI1423\fP to \fI16\fP:
|
||
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
||
|
|
\fBrtprio 16 -1423\fP
|
||
|
|
.Ed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.\.LP
|
||
|
|
To run \fItcpdump\fP without realtime priority:
|
||
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
||
|
|
\fBrtprio -t tcpdump\fP
|
||
|
|
.Ed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.\.LP
|
||
|
|
To change the realtime priority of process \fI1423\fP to RTRIO_RTOFF
|
||
|
|
(no realtime):
|
||
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
||
|
|
\fBrtprio -t -1423\fP
|

|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm rtprio
|
||
|
|
utility shall exit with value of the (new) realtime priority of the
|
||
|
|
program.

.Sh HISTORY
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm rtprio
|
||
|
|
utility appeared in
|
||
|
|
FreeBSD 2.0,
|
||
|
|
but is similar to the HP-UX version.
|
||
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
||
|
|
You can lock you're self out of the system, be placing at cpu-heavy
|
||
|
|
process in a realtime priority.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is no way to set/view the realtime priority of process 0
|
||
|
|
(swapper) (see ps(1)).
