PTHREAD_ATTR_GETSCHEDPOLICY(3P) Programmer's ManualD_ATTR_GETSCHEDPOLICY(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
pthread_attr_getschedpolicy, pthread_attr_setschedpolicy — get and set the schedpolicy attribute (REALTIME THREADS)
#include <pthread.h> int pthread_attr_getschedpolicy(const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr, int *restrict policy); int pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(pthread_attr_t *attr, int policy);
The pthread_attr_getschedpolicy() and pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() functions, respectively, shall get and set the schedpolicy attribute in the attr argument. The supported values of policy shall include SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, and SCHED_OTHER, which are defined in the <sched.h> header. When threads executing with the scheduling policy SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, or SCHED_SPORADIC are waiting on a mutex, they shall acquire the mutex in priority order when the mutex is unlocked. The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the attr argument to pthread_attr_getschedpolicy() or pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object.
If successful, the pthread_attr_getschedpolicy() and pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
The pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() function shall fail if: ENOTSUP An attempt was made to set the attribute to an unsupported value. The pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() function may fail if: EINVAL The value of policy is not valid. These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR]. The following sections are informative.
None.
After these attributes have been set, a thread can be created with the specified attributes using pthread_create(). Using these routines does not affect the current running thread. See Section 2.9.4, Thread Scheduling for further details on thread scheduling attributes and their default settings.
If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr argument to pthread_attr_getschedpolicy() or pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() does not refer to an initialized thread attributes object, it is recommended that the function should fail and report an [EINVAL] error.
None.
