.Sh NAME
.Nm pthread_schedparam
.Nd thread scheduling parameter manipulation
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc_r
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <pthread.h>
.Ft int
.Fn pthread_setschedparam "pthread_t thread" "int policy" "const struct sched_param *param"
.Ft int
.Fn pthread_getschedparam "pthread_t thread" "int *policy" "struct sched_param *param"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn pthread_setschedparam
and
.Fn pthread_getschedparam
functions set and get the scheduling parameters of individual threads.
The scheduling policy for a thread can either be
.Dv SCHED_FIFO
(first in, first out) or
.Dv SCHED_RR
(round-robin).
The thread priority (accessed via
.Va param->sched_priority )
must be at least
.Dv PTHREAD_MIN_PRIORITY
and no more than
.Dv PTHREAD_MAX_PRIORITY .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If successful, these functions return 0.
Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
.Sh ERRORS
.Fn pthread_setschedparam
will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
Invalid value for
.Va policy .
.It Bq Er ENOTSUP

.Fn pthread_getschedparam
will fail if:
