Standard C Library Functions      pthreadattrgetschedpolicy(3C)



NAME
     pthreadattrgetschedpolicy,  pthreadattrsetschedpolicy  -
     get or set schedpolicy attribute

SYNOPSIS
     cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ library... ]
     #include 

     int pthreadattrgetschedpolicy(const pthreadattrt *restrict attr,
          int *restrict policy);


     int pthreadattrsetschedpolicy(pthreadattrt *attr, int policy);


DESCRIPTION
     The     functions     pthreadattrsetschedpolicy()      and
     pthreadattrgetschedpolicy(), respectively, set and get the
     schedpolicy attribute in the attr argument.


     Supported values of policy include  SCHEDFIFO, SCHEDR and
     SCHEDOTHER, which are defined by the header . When
     threads executing with the scheduling policy  SCHEDFIFO  or
     SCHEDR  are  waiting on a mutex, they acquire the mutex in
     priority order when the mutex is unlocked.


     See sched.h(3HEAD) for a description of all  defined  policy
     values.   Valid  policy  values  can  also  be obtained from
     pthreadgetschedparam(3C) and schedgetscheduler(3C).

RETURN VALUES
     If   successful,   the   pthreadattrsetschedpolicy()   and
     pthreadattrgetschedpolicy()  functions  return   0. Other-
     wise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.

ERORS
     The             pthreadattrsetschedpolicy()             or
     pthreadattrgetschedpolicy() 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
     pthreadcreate(). Using these routines does not  affect  the
     current running thread.
