pthread_attr_getschedparam

       the schedparam attribute

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_attr_getschedparam(const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr,
              struct sched_param *restrict param);
       int pthread_attr_setschedparam(pthread_attr_t *restrict attr,
              const struct sched_param *restrict param);


DESCRIPTION
       The  pthread_attr_getschedparam(),   and   pthread_attr_setschedparam()
       functions,  respectively,  shall  get  and set the scheduling parameter
       attributes in the attr argument. The contents of  the  param  structure
       are  defined  in the <sched.h> header.  For the SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR
       policies, the only required member of param is sched_priority.

       For the SCHED_SPORADIC policy, the required members of the param struc-
       ture  are  sched_priority, sched_ss_low_priority, sched_ss_repl_period,
       sched_ss_init_budget,    and    sched_ss_max_repl.    The     specified
       sched_ss_repl_period  must  be  greater  than or equal to the specified
       sched_ss_init_budget for the function to succeed; if it  is  not,  then
       the function shall fail. The value of sched_ss_max_repl shall be within
       the inclusive range [1, {SS_REPL_MAX}] for the function to succeed;  if
       not, the function shall fail.

RETURN VALUE
       If      successful,      the      pthread_attr_getschedparam()      and
       pthread_attr_setschedparam() functions shall return zero; otherwise, an
       error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The pthread_attr_setschedparam() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The value of param is not valid.

       ENOTSUP
              An  attempt  was  made  to  set  the attribute to an unsupported
              value.


       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION 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.
