.Dt RTPRIO 2
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm rtprio
|
|
.Nd examine or modify a process realtime or idle priority
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/rtprio.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn rtprio "int function" "pid_t pid" "struct rtprio *rtp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn rtprio
|
|
is used to lookup or change the realtime or idle priority of a process.
|
|
|
|
.Fa function
|
|
specifies the operation to be performed. RTP_LOOKUP to lookup the current priority,
|
|
and RTP_SET to set the priority.
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
specifies the process to be used, 0 for the current process.
|
|
|
|
.Fa *rtp
|
|
is a pointer to a struct rtprio which is used to specify the priority and priority type.
|
|
This structure has the following form:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct rtprio {
|
|
u_short type;
|
|
u_short prio;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The value of the
|
|
.Nm type
|
|
field may be RTP_PRIO_REALTIME for realtime priorities,
|
|
RTP_PRIO_NORMAL for normal priorities, and RTP_PRIO_IDLE for idle priorities.
|
|
The priority specified by the
|
|
.Nm prio
|
|
field ranges between 0 and
|
|
.Dv RTP_PRIO_MAX (usually 31) .
|
|
0 is the highest possible priority.
|
|
|
|
Realtime and idle priority is inherited through fork() and exec().
|
|
|
|
A realtime process can only be preempted by a process of equal or
|
|
higher priority, or by an interrupt; idle priority processes will run only
|
|
when no other real/normal priority process is runnable. Higher real/idle priority processes
|
|
preempt lower real/idle priority processes. Processes of equal real/idle priority are run round-robin.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn rtprio
|
|
will return 0 for success and -1 for all errors. The global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
will be set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn rtprio
|
|
will fail if
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The specified
|
|
.Fa prio
|
|
was out of range.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The calling process is not allowed to set the realtime priority. Only
|
|
root is allowed to change the realtime priority of any process, and non-root
|
|
may only change the idle priority of the current process.
|
|
.It Bq Er ESRCH
|
|
The specified process was not found.
