Sets the value of the schedparam attribute of a thread attributes object.
Threads Library (libpthreads.a)
#include <pthread.h> #include <sys/sched.h>
int pthread_attr_setschedparam (attr, schedparam) pthread_attr_t *attr; const struct sched_param *schedparam;
The pthread_attr_setschedparam subroutine sets the value of the schedparam attribute of the thread attributes object attr. The schedparam attribute specifies the scheduling parameters of a thread created with this attributes object. The sched_priority field of the sched_param structure contains the priority of the thread.
Note: The pthread.h header file must be the first included file of each source file using the threads library. Otherwise, the -D_THREAD_SAFE compilation flag should be used, or the cc_r compiler used. In this case, the flag is automatically set.
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, an error code is returned.
The pthread_attr_setschedparam subroutine is unsuccessful if the following is true:
EINVAL | The attr parameter is not valid. |
ENOSYS | The priority scheduling POSIX option is not implemented. |
ENOTSUP | The value of the schedparam attribute is not supported. |
This subroutine is part of the Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
The pthread_attr_getschedparam subroutine, pthread_attr_init subroutine, pthread_create subroutine, the pthread.h file.
