NAME
pthread_attr_setschedpolicy, pthread_attr_getschedpolicy - set/get
scheduling policy attribute in thread attributes object
LIBRARY
POSIX threads library
(libpthread, -lpthread)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(pthread_attr_t *attr, int policy);
int pthread_attr_getschedpolicy(const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr,
int *restrict policy);
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().
