43 .BR pthread_attr_setschedparam ()
44 function sets the scheduling parameter attributes of the
45 thread attributes object referred to by
47 to the values specified in the buffer pointed to by
49 These attributes determine the scheduling parameters of
50 a thread created using the thread attributes object
54 .BR pthread_attr_getschedparam ()
55 returns the scheduling parameter attributes of the thread attributes object
57 in the buffer pointed to by
60 Scheduling parameters are maintained in the following structure:
65 int sched_priority; /* Scheduling priority */
70 As can be seen, only one scheduling parameter is supported.
71 For details of the permitted ranges for scheduling priorities
72 in each scheduling policy, see
75 In order for the parameter setting made by
76 .BR pthread_attr_setschedparam ()
77 to have effect when calling
78 .BR pthread_create (3),
80 .BR pthread_attr_setinheritsched (3)

86 On success, these functions return 0;
87 on error, they return a nonzero error number.
