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

85The
86.Fn pthread_getschedparam
87function will fail if:
88.Bl -tag -width Er
89.It Bq Er ESRCH
90Non-existent thread
91.Fa thread .
