.TH SCHED_GET_PRIORITY_MAX 2 2006-03-23 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
sched_get_priority_max, sched_get_priority_min \- get static priority range
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <sched.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "int sched_get_priority_max(int " policy );
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "int sched_get_priority_min(int " policy );
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.BR sched_get_priority_max ()
|
|
returns the maximum priority value that can be used with the
|
|
scheduling algorithm identified by \fIpolicy\fP.
|
|
.BR sched_get_priority_min ()
|
|
returns the minimum priority value that can be used with the
|
|
scheduling algorithm identified by \fIpolicy\fP.
|
|
Supported \fIpolicy\fP
|
|
values are
|
|
.BR SCHED_FIFO ,
|
|
.BR SCHED_RR ,
|
|
.BR SCHED_OTHER ,
|
|
and
|
|
.BR SCHED_BATCH .
|
|
Further details about these policies can be found in
|
|
.BR sched_setscheduler (2).
|
|
|
|
Processes with numerically higher priority values are scheduled before
|
|
processes with numerically lower priority values.
|
|
Thus, the value
|
|
returned by
|
|
.BR sched_get_priority_max ()
|
|
will be greater than the
|
|
value returned by
|
|
.BR sched_get_priority_min ().
|
|
|
|
Linux allows the static priority value range 1 to 99 for
|
|
\fBSCHED_FIFO\fP and \fBSCHED_RR\fP and the priority 0 for
|
|
\fBSCHED_OTHER\fP and \fBSCHED_BATCH\fP.
|
|
Scheduling priority ranges for the various policies
|
|
are not alterable.
|
|
|
|
The range of scheduling priorities may vary on other POSIX systems,
|
|
thus it is a good idea for portable applications to use a virtual
|
|
priority range and map it to the interval given by
|
|
.BR sched_get_priority_max ()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR sched_get_priority_min ().
|
|
POSIX.1-2001 requires a spread of at least 32 between the maximum and the
|
|
minimum values for \fBSCHED_FIFO\fP and \fBSCHED_RR\fP.
|
|
|
|
POSIX systems on which
|
|
.BR sched_get_priority_max ()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR sched_get_priority_min ()
|
|
are available define
|
|
.B _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING
|
|
in \fI<unistd.h>\fP.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
On success,
|
|
.BR sched_get_priority_max ()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR sched_get_priority_min ()
|
|
return the maximum/minimum priority value for the named scheduling
|
|
policy.
|
|
On error, \-1 is returned, and
|
|
.I errno
|
|
is set appropriately.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B EINVAL
|
|
The parameter \fIpolicy\fP does not identify a defined scheduling policy.
