+.NH 3
+Process priorities
+.PP
+The system gives CPU scheduling priority to processes that have not used
+CPU time recently. This tends to favor interactive processes and
+processes that execute only for short periods.
+It is possible to determine the priority currently
+assigned to a process, process group, or the processes of a specified user,
+or to alter this priority using the calls:
+.DS
+._d
+#define PRIO_PROCESS 0 /* process */
+#define PRIO_PGRP 1 /* process group */
+#define PRIO_USER 2 /* user id */
+
+prio = getpriority(which, who);
+result int prio; int which, who;
+
+setpriority(which, who, prio);
+int which, who, prio;
+.DE
+The value \fIprio\fP is in the range \-20 to 20.
+The default priority is 0; lower priorities cause more
+favorable execution.
+The \fIgetpriority\fP call returns the highest priority (lowest numerical value)
+enjoyed by any of the specified processes.
+The \fIsetpriority\fP call sets the priorities of all of the
+specified processes to the specified value.
+Only the super-user may lower priorities.
+.NH 3
+Resource utilization
+.PP
+The resources used by a process are returned by a \fIgetrusage\fP call,
+returning information in a structure defined in \fI<sys/resource.h>\fP:
+.DS
+._d
+#define RUSAGE_SELF 0 /* usage by this process */
+#define RUSAGE_CHILDREN -1 /* usage by all children */
+
+getrusage(who, rusage)
+int who; result struct rusage *rusage;
+
+._f
+struct rusage {
+ struct timeval ru_utime; /* user time used */
+ struct timeval ru_stime; /* system time used */
+ int ru_maxrss; /* maximum core resident set size: kbytes */
+ int ru_ixrss; /* integral shared memory size (kbytes*sec) */
+ int ru_idrss; /* unshared data memory size */
+ int ru_isrss; /* unshared stack memory size */
+ int ru_minflt; /* page-reclaims */
+ int ru_majflt; /* page faults */
+ int ru_nswap; /* swaps */
+ int ru_inblock; /* block input operations */
+ int ru_oublock; /* block output operations */
+ int ru_msgsnd; /* messages sent */
+ int ru_msgrcv; /* messages received */
+ int ru_nsignals; /* signals received */
+ int ru_nvcsw; /* voluntary context switches */
+ int ru_nivcsw; /* involuntary context switches */
+};
+.DE
+The \fIwho\fP parameter specifies whose resource usage is to be returned.
+The resources used by the current process, or by all
+the terminated children of the current process may be requested.
+.NH 3
+Resource limits
+.PP
+The resources of a process for which limits are controlled by the
+kernel are defined in \fI<sys/resource.h>\fP, and controlled by the
+\fIgetrlimit\fP and \fIsetrlimit\fP calls:
+.DS
+._d
+#define RLIMIT_CPU 0 /* cpu time in milliseconds */
+#define RLIMIT_FSIZE 1 /* maximum file size */
+#define RLIMIT_DATA 2 /* maximum data segment size */
+#define RLIMIT_STACK 3 /* maximum stack segment size */
+#define RLIMIT_CORE 4 /* maximum core file size */
+#define RLIMIT_RSS 5 /* maximum resident set size */
+
+#define RLIM_NLIMITS 6
+
+#define RLIM_INFINITY 0x7f\&f\&f\&f\&f\&f\&f
+
+._f
+struct rlimit {
+ int rlim_cur; /* current (soft) limit */
+ int rlim_max; /* hard limit */
+};
+
+getrlimit(resource, rlp)
+int resource; result struct rlimit *rlp;
+
+setrlimit(resource, rlp)
+int resource; struct rlimit *rlp;
+.DE
+.PP
+Only the super-user can raise the maximum limits.
+Other users may only
+alter \fIrlim_cur\fP within the range from 0 to \fIrlim_max\fP
+or (irreversibly) lower \fIrlim_max\fP.
