|
|
.In sys/time.h
|
|
.In sys/resource.h
|
|
.Ft int

.Fn getpriority "int which" "int who"

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The scheduling
|
|
priority of the process, process group, or user, as indicated by
|
|
.Fa which
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa who
|
|
is obtained with the
|
|
.Fn getpriority
|
|
system call and set with the
|
|
.Fn setpriority
|
|
system call.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa which
|
|
argument
|
|
is one of
|
|
.Dv PRIO_PROCESS ,
|
|
.Dv PRIO_PGRP ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv PRIO_USER ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa who
|
|
is interpreted relative to
|
|
.Fa which
|
|
(a process identifier for
|
|
.Dv PRIO_PROCESS ,
|
|
process group
|
|
identifier for
|
|
.Dv PRIO_PGRP ,
|
|
and a user ID for
|
|
.Dv PRIO_USER ) .
|
|
A zero value of
|
|
.Fa who
|
|
denotes the current process, process group, or user.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa prio
|
|
argument
|
|
is a value in the range -20 to 20.
|
|
The default priority is 0;
|
|
lower priorities cause more favorable scheduling.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getpriority
|
|
system call returns the highest priority (lowest numerical value)
|
|
enjoyed by any of the specified processes.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setpriority
|
|
system call sets the priorities of all of the specified processes
|
|
to the specified value.
|
|
Only the super-user may lower priorities.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Since
|
|
.Fn getpriority
|
|
can legitimately return the value -1, it is necessary
|
|
to clear the external variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
prior to the
|
|
call, then check it afterward to determine
|
|
if a -1 is an error or a legitimate value.

|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getpriority
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn setpriority
|
|
system calls
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ESRCH
|
|
No process was located using the
|
|
.Fa which
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa who
|
|
values specified.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa which
|
|
argument
|
|
was not one of
|
|
.Dv PRIO_PROCESS ,
|
|
.Dv PRIO_PGRP ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv PRIO_USER .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition to the errors indicated above,
|
|
.Fn setpriority
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
A process was located, but neither its effective nor real user
|
|
ID matched the effective user ID of the caller.
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
