.Sh NAME

.Nm rtprio ,
|
|
.Nm rtprio_thread
|
|

|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/rtprio.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn rtprio "int function" "pid_t pid" "struct rtprio *rtp"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn rtprio_thread "int function" "lwpid_t lwpid" "struct rtprio *rtp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rtprio
|
|
system call
|
|
is used to lookup or change the realtime or idle priority of a process,
|
|
or the calling thread.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rtprio_thread
|
|
system call
|
|
is used to lookup or change the realtime or idle priority of a thread.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa function
|
|
argument
|
|
specifies the operation to be performed.
|
|
RTP_LOOKUP to lookup the current priority,
|
|
and RTP_SET to set the priority.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For the
|
|
.Fn rtprio
|
|
system call,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
argument
|
|
specifies the process to operate on,
|
|
0 for the calling thread.
|
|
When
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
is non-zero,
|
|
the system call reports the highest priority in the process,
|
|
or sets all threads' priority in the process,
|
|
depending on value of the
|
|
.Fa function
|
|
argument.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For the
|
|
.Fn rtprio_thread
|
|
system call,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa lwpid
|
|
specifies the thread to operate on,
|
|
0 for the calling thread.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa *rtp
|
|
argument
|
|
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
|
|
.Va 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
|
|
.Va prio
|
|
field ranges between 0 and
|
|
.Dv RTP_PRIO_MAX
|
|
.Pq usually 31 .
|
|
0 is the highest possible priority.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Realtime and idle priority is inherited through fork() and exec().
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A realtime thread can only be preempted by a thread of equal or
|
|
higher priority, or by an interrupt; idle priority threads will run only
|
|
when no other real/normal priority thread is runnable.
|
|
Higher real/idle priority threads
|
|
preempt lower real/idle priority threads.
|
|
Threads of equal real/idle priority are run round-robin.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std rtprio rtprio_thread
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rtprio
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn rtprio_thread
|
|
system calls
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
The rtp pointer passed to
|
|
.Fn rtprio
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn rtprio_thread
|
|
was invalid.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The specified
|
|
.Fa prio
|
|
was out of range.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The calling thread is not allowed to set the realtime priority.
|
|
Only
|
|
root is allowed to change the realtime priority of any thread, and non-root
|
|
may only change the idle priority of threads the user owns,
|
|
when the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variable
|
|
.Va security.bsd.unprivileged_idprio
|
|
is set to non-zero.
|
|
.It Bq Er ESRCH
|
|
The specified process or thread was not found or visible.
