+.Dt RTPRIO 2
+.Os FreeBSD 1.1.5.1
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm rtprio
+.Nd examine or modify a process realtime scheduling priority
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/resource.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn rtprio "pid_t pid" "int prio"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Rtprio() is used to change or read the realtime priority of a process.
+
+.Fa pid
+specifies the process to be used. If it is 0, the current process will
+be used.
+
+.Fa prio
+specifies the new priority of the process, or
+.Dv RTPRIO_RTOFF ,
+for normal
+(non-realtime) priority or
+.Dv RTPRIO_NOCHG
+for nochange (se RETURN VALUE).
+
+Legal values of priorities are between
+.Dv RTPRIO_RTMIN (0)
+and
+.Dv RTPRIO_RTMAX (31) .
+0 is the highest possible priority.
+
+Realtime priority is enherited through fork() and exec().
+
+A realtime process can only be preempted by a process of equal or
+higher priority, or an interrupt. Processes of equal realtime priority
+are run in a round-robin schedule.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If errno is not set, the new (or unchanged) realtime priority of the
+process is returned.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn Rtprio
+will fail if
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The specified
+.Fa prio
+was out of range.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The calling process is not allowed to set the realtime priority. Only
+root is allowed to change the realtime priority of any process.
+.It Bq Er ESRCH
+The specified process was not found.
