Threads Library Functionspthread_getschedparam(3THR)


NAME

 pthread_getschedparam, pthread_setschedparam - access dynamic thread scheduling parameters

SYNOPSIS

 
cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ -lrt library... ]
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_getschedparam(pthread_t thread, int *policy, struct sched_param *param);
 int pthread_setschedparam(pthread_t thread, int policy, const struct sched_param *param);

DESCRIPTION

 

The pthread_getschedparam() and pthread_setschedparam() functions allow the scheduling policy and scheduling parameters of individual threads within a multithreaded process to be retrieved and set. Supported policies are SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, and SCHED_OTHER. See pthreads(3THR). For SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, and SCHED_OTHER, the affected scheduling parameter is the sched_priority member of the sched_param structure.

The pthread_getschedparam() function retrieves the scheduling policy and scheduling parameters for the thread whose thread ID is given by thread and stores those values in policy and param, respectively. The priority value returned from pthread_getschedparam() is the value specified by the most recent pthread_setschedparam() or pthread_create() call affecting the target thread, and reflects any temporary adjustments to its priority as a result of any priority inheritance or ceiling functions. The pthread_setschedparam() function sets the scheduling policy and associated scheduling parameters for the thread whose thread ID is given by thread to the policy and associated parameters provided in policy and param, respectively.

If the pthread_setschedparam() function fails, no scheduling parameters will be changed for the target thread.

RETURN VALUES

 

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

ERRORS

 

The pthread_getschedparam() function may fail if:

ESRCH
The value specified by thread does not refer to a existing thread.

The pthread_setschedparam() function may fail if:

EINVAL
The value specified by policy or one of the scheduling parameters associated with the scheduling policy policy is invalid.
EPERM
The caller does not have the appropriate permission to set either the scheduling parameters or the scheduling policy of the specified thread.
ESRCH
The value specified by thread does not refer to a existing thread.
