Stop calling system calls "function calls". Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility". When referring to a non-BSD implementation in the HISTORY section, call syscall a function, to be safe.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sched.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn sched_setparam "pid_t pid" "const struct sched_param *param"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn sched_getparam "pid_t pid" "struct sched_param *param"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sched_setparam
|
|
system call sets the scheduling parameters of the process specified by
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
to the values specified by the
|
|
.Fa sched_param
|
|
structure pointed to by
|
|
.Fa param .
|
|
The value of the
|
|
.Fa sched_priority
|
|
member in the
|
|
.Fa param
|
|
structure must be any integer within the inclusive priority range for
|
|
the current scheduling policy of the process specified by
|
|
.Fa pid .
|
|
Higher numerical values for the priority represent higher priorities.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In this implementation, if the value of
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
is negative the system call will fail.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a process specified by
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
exists and if the calling process has permission, the scheduling
|
|
parameters are set for the process whose process ID is equal to
|
|
.Fa pid .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
is zero, the scheduling parameters are set for the calling process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In this implementation, the policy of when a process can affect
|
|
the scheduling parameters of another process is specified in
|
|
.Xr p1003_1b
|
|
as a write-style operation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The target process, whether it is running or not running, will resume
|
|
execution after all other runnable processes of equal or greater
|
|
priority have been scheduled to run.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the priority of the process specified by the
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
argument is set higher than that of the lowest priority running process
|
|
and if the specified process is ready to run, the process specified by
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
argument will preempt a lowest priority running process. Similarly, if
|
|
the process calling
|
|
.Fn sched_setparam
|
|
sets its own priority lower than that of one or more other nonempty
|
|
process lists, then the process that is the head of the highest priority
|
|
list will also preempt the calling process. Thus, in either case, the
|
|
originating process might not receive notification of the completion of
|
|
the requested priority change until the higher priority process has
|
|
executed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In this implementation, when the current scheduling policy for the
|
|
process specified by
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
is normal timesharing (SCHED_OTHER, aka SCHED_NORMAL when not POSIX-source)
|
|
or the idle policy (SCHED_IDLE when not POSIX-source) then the behavior
|
|
is as if the process had been running under SCHED_RR with a priority
|
|
lower than any actual realtime priority.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sched_getparam
|
|
system call will return the scheduling parameters of a process specified
|
|
by
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
in the
|
|
.Fa sched_param
|
|
structure pointed to by
|
|
.Fa param .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a process specified by
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
exists and if the calling process has permission,
|
|
the scheduling parameters for the process whose process ID is equal to
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
are returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In this implementation, the policy of when a process can obtain the
|
|
scheduling parameters of another process are detailed in
|
|
.Xr p1003_1b
|
|
as a read-style operation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
is zero, the scheduling parameters for the calling process will be
|
|
returned. In this implementation, the
|
|
.Fa sched_getparam
|
|
system call will fail if
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
is negative.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
On failure
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
will be set to the corresponding value:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOSYS
|
|
The system is not configured to support this functionality.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The requesting process doesn not have permission as detailed in
|
|
.Xr p1003_1b .
|
|
.It Bq Er ESRCH
|
|
No process can be found corresponding to that specified by
|
|
.Fa pid .
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
For
|
|
.Fn sched_setparam :
|
|
one or more of the requested scheduling parameters
|
|
is outside the range defined for the scheduling policy of the specified
|
|
.Fa pid .
