.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIpthread_attr_getschedpolicy\fP() and \fIpthread_attr_setschedpolicy\fP()
functions, respectively, shall get and set the
\fIschedpolicy\fP attribute in the \fIattr\fP argument.
.LP
The supported values of \fIpolicy\fP shall include SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR,
and SCHED_OTHER, which are defined in the \fI<sched.h>\fP header.
When threads executing with the scheduling policy SCHED_FIFO,
SCHED_RR, \ or SCHED_SPORADIC are waiting on a mutex, they
shall acquire the mutex in priority order when the mutex is unlocked.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
If successful, the \fIpthread_attr_getschedpolicy\fP() and \fIpthread_attr_setschedpolicy\fP()
functions shall return zero;
otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
The \fIpthread_attr_setschedpolicy\fP() function may fail if:
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
The value of \fIpolicy\fP is not valid.
.TP 7
.B ENOTSUP
An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value.
.sp
.LP
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
After these attributes have been set, a thread can be created with
the specified attributes using \fIpthread_create\fP(). Using these
routines does not affect the current running
thread.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
None.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
