31.Sh NAME
32.Nm pthread_setschedparam ,
33.Nm pthread_getschedparam
34.Nd thread scheduling parameter manipulation
35.Sh LIBRARY
36.Lb libpthread
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In pthread.h
39.Ft int
40.Fn pthread_setschedparam "pthread_t thread" "int policy" "const struct sched_param *param"
41.Ft int
42.Fn pthread_getschedparam "pthread_t thread" "int *restrict policy" "struct sched_param *restrict param"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn pthread_setschedparam
46and
47.Fn pthread_getschedparam
48functions set and get the scheduling parameters of individual threads.
49The scheduling policy for a thread can either be
50.Dv SCHED_FIFO
51(first in, first out),
52.Dv SCHED_RR
53(round-robin), or
54.Dv SCHED_OTHER
55(timesharing).
56Valid thread priorities (accessed via
57.Va param->sched_priority )
58must be within the range returned by the
59.Xr sched_get_priority_min 2
60and
61.Xr sched_get_priority_max 2
62system calls.
63.Sh RETURN VALUES
64If successful, these functions return 0.
65Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
66.Sh ERRORS
67The
68.Fn pthread_setschedparam
69function will fail if:
70.Bl -tag -width Er
71.It Bq Er EINVAL
72Invalid value for
73.Fa policy .
74.It Bq Er ENOTSUP
75Invalid value for scheduling parameters.
76.It Bq Er EPERM
77The calling thread does not have sufficient privilege to perform the operation.
78.It Bq Er ESRCH
79Non-existent thread
80.Fa thread .
81.El

83The
84.Fn pthread_getschedparam

97and
98.Fn pthread_getschedparam
99functions conform to
