The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult

or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
pthread_attr_getschedparam,
pthread_attr_setschedparam
--- get and set 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
structure 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.
It is unspecified whether the
sched_ss_repl_period
and
sched_ss_init_budget
values are stored as provided by this function or are rounded to
align with the resolution of the clock being used.
The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the
attr
argument to
pthread_attr_getschedparam()
or
pthread_attr_setschedparam()
does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object.
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 shall fail if:
- ENOTSUP
-
An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value.
The
pthread_attr_setschedparam()
function may fail if:
- EINVAL
-
The value of
param
is not valid.
These functions shall not return an error code of
[EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
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.
RATIONALE
If an implementation detects that the value specified by the
attr
argument to
pthread_attr_getschedparam()
or
pthread_attr_setschedparam()
does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object, it is
recommended that the function should fail and report an
[EINVAL]
error.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
