pthread_attr_getschedpolicy(3C) 										   pthread_attr_getschedpolicy(3C)

NAME

       pthread_attr_getschedpolicy, pthread_attr_setschedpolicy - get or set schedpolicy attribute

SYNOPSIS

       cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ library... ]
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_attr_getschedpolicy(const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr, int *restrict policy);

       int pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(pthread_attr_t *attr, int policy);

       The  functions  pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() and pthread_attr_getschedpolicy(), respectively, set and get the schedpolicy attribute in the
       attr argument.

       The supported values of policy include  SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR and  SCHED_OTHER, which are defined by the	header	<sched.h>.   When  threads
       executing  with	the  scheduling  policy  SCHED_FIFO or	SCHED_RR are waiting on a mutex, they acquire the mutex in priority order when the
       mutex is unlocked.

       If successful, the pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() and pthread_attr_getschedpolicy() functions return   0.  Otherwise,  an  error	number	is
       returned to indicate the error.

       The pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() or pthread_attr_getschedpolicy() function may fail if:

       EINVAL	       attr or policy is invalid.

USAGE

       After  these  attributes  have been set, a thread can be created with the specified attributes using pthread_create(). Using these routines
       does not affect the current running thread.

NAME

       pthread_attr_setschedpolicy, pthread_attr_getschedpolicy - set/get scheduling policy attribute in thread attributes object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(pthread_attr_t *attr, int policy);
       int pthread_attr_getschedpolicy(const pthread_attr_t *attr, int *policy);

       Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION

       The  pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() function sets the scheduling policy attribute of the thread attributes object referred to by attr to the
       value specified in policy.  This attribute determines the scheduling policy of a thread created using the thread attributes object attr.

       The supported values for policy are SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, and SCHED_OTHER, with the semantics described in sched(7).

       The pthread_attr_getschedpolicy() returns the scheduling policy attribute of the thread attributes object attr in the buffer pointed to	by
       policy.

       In  order  for  the policy setting made by pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() 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

       pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() can fail with the following error:

       EINVAL Invalid value in policy.

       POSIX.1	also  documents  an  optional  ENOTSUP	error  ("attempt  was  made  to  set  the  attribute  to  an   unsupported   value")   for
       pthread_attr_setschedpolicy().
