sched_get_priority_adjust()

Calculate the allowable priority for the scheduling policy

Synopsis:

#include <sched.h>

int sched_get_priority_adjust( int prio,
                               int policy,
                               int adjust );

Arguments:

prio

The original priority value. If negative, the priority of the calling thread is used.

policy

The scheduling algorithm being used. The valid arguments are listed in sched_get_priority_max(). If policy is SCHED_NOCHANGE, the function uses the algorithm of the calling thread.

adjust

The priority change, relative to prio. A value of +10 results in a final priority of prio+10, provided that this amount of adjustment is allowed.

Library:

libc

Description:

The sched_get_priority_adjust() function calculates the requested priority change relative to another thread and returns the allowable value.

This function makes it easier for you to set relative priorities in order to ensure proper precedence.

Returns:

>0

The allowed priority value. The value will never exceed the range of values allowed by sched_get_priority_min() and sched_get_priority_max().

<0

Failure; the negative of the errno value.

Errors:

EINVAL

The value of the policy parameter doesn't represent a defined scheduling policy.

Classification:

QNX 6
