The default priority is 0; -lower priorities cause more favorable scheduling. -.Pp -The -.Fn getpriority -call returns the highest priority (lowest numerical value) -enjoyed by any of the specified processes. The -.Fn setpriority -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. -The -.Fn setpriority -call returns 0 if there is no error, or --1 if there is. -.Sh ERRORS -.Fn Getpriority -and -.Fn setpriority -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 -.Fa Which -was not one of -.Dv PRIO_PROCESS , -.Dv PRIO_PGRP , -or -.Dv PRIO_USER . -.El -.Pp -.Bl -tag -width Er -In addition to the errors indicated above, -.Fn setpriority -will fail if: -.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 -A non super-user attempted to lower a process priority. -.El -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr nice 1 , -.Xr fork 2 , -.Xr renice 8 -.Sh HISTORY -The -.Fn getpriority -function call appeared in -.Bx 4.2 . |
