32.Sh NAME
33.Nm pthread_setschedparam ,
34.Nm pthread_getschedparam
35.Nd thread scheduling parameter manipulation
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Fd #include <pthread.h>
38.Ft int
39.Fn pthread_setschedparam "pthread_t thread" "int policy" "const struct sched_param *param"
40.Ft int
41.Fn pthread_getschedparam "pthread_t thread" "int *policy" "struct sched_param *param"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Fn pthread_setschedparam
45and
46.Fn pthread_getschedparam
47functions set and get the scheduling parameters of individual threads.
48The scheduling policy for a thread can either be
49.Dv SCHED_FIFO
50(first in, first out) or
51.Dv SCHED_RR
52(round-robin).
53The thread priority (accessed via
54.Va param->sched_priority )
55must be at least
56.Dv PTHREAD_MIN_PRIORITY
57and no more than
58.Dv PTHREAD_MAX_PRIORITY .
59.Sh RETURN VALUES
60If successful, these functions return 0.
61Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
62.Sh ERRORS
