Get the maximum priority for the scheduling policy
#include <sched.h> int sched_get_priority_max( int policy );
libc
The sched_get_priority_max() function returns the maximum value for the scheduling policy specified by policy. The value of policy must be:
| Policy | Description | 
|---|---|
| SCHED_FIFO | A fixed priority scheduler in which the highest priority ready thread will run until it blocks or is preempted by a higher priority thread. | 
| SCHED_RR | The same as SCHED_FIFO except threads at the same priority level will time slice (round robin) every 50 msec. | 
| SCHED_OTHER | Currently the same as SCHED_RR. | 
The appropriate minimum for success, or -1 (errno is set).
