NAME

priocntlset - change scheduling property of a process or set of processes  

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/procset.h> #include <sys/priocntl.h> #include <sys/rtpriocntl.h> #include <sys/tspriocntl.h>

int priocntlset( procset_t *psp, int cmd, void *arg );
 

PARAMETERS

Specifies a pointer to a structure. The type of structure depends on the value you select for the cmd parameter. Specifies the functions to be performed. Specifies a pointer to a procset structure.
 

DESCRIPTION

This function is used to change the scheduling properties of a running process or group of processes. While the priocntl(2) function performs the same tasks, this function enables you to specify the process or set of processes that will change in a less complicated manner.

How the process changes depends on the value you select for the cmd parameter. The value of the arg parameter is dependent on the value you select for the cmd parameter. See the priocntl function for detailed information on these parameters.

The psp parameter enables you to identify the process or set of processes that is to be affected by this call. This parameter points to a procset.h structure which defines the selection process. In the <sys/procset.h>, a setprocset macro is defined that displays a means of initializing the procset structure. For more information on this structure, see the procset(4) reference page.
 

RETURN VALUE

This system call returns the same values as the priocntl function.
 

ERRORS

This system call returns the same errors as priocntl function.
