<P>The <B>sched_setscheduler</B> function shall set the scheduling

policy and scheduling parameters of the process specified by <I>pid</I>
|

to <I>policy</I> and the parameters specified in the <B>sched_param</B>
|

structure pointed to by <I>param</I>, respectively. The value of the

<I>sched_priority</I> member in the <B>sched_param</B> structure
|
||
shall be any integer within the inclusive priority range for the
|
||
scheduling policy specified by <I>policy</I>. If the value of <I>pid</I>
|

is negative, the behavior of the <B>sched_setscheduler</B> function
|

is unspecified.

</P>

<P>The possible values for the <I>policy</I> parameter are defined in

the <I><sched.h></I> header.

</P>
|

<P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> only supports the <B>SCHED_OTHER</B> policy.
|
||
Any other value for <I>policy</I> will return failure with errno set
|
||
to <B>ENOSYS</B>. However, checks on <I>pid</I> and permissions are
|
||
performed first so that the other useful side effects of this routine
|
||
are retained.</P>
|
||
<P>If a process specified by <I>pid</I> exists, and if the calling
|
||
process has permission, the scheduling policy and scheduling
|
||
parameters shall be set for the process whose process ID is equal to
|
||
<I>pid</I>.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>If <I>pid</I> is zero, the scheduling policy and scheduling
|
||
parameters shall be set for the calling process.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>Implementations may require that the requesting process have
|
||
permission to set its own scheduling parameters or those of another
|
||
process. Additionally, implementation-defined restrictions may apply
|
||
as to the appropriate privileges required to set a process’ own
|
||
scheduling policy, or another process’ scheduling policy, to a
|
||
particular value.

<P>The <B>sched_setscheduler</B> function shall be considered

successful if it succeeds in setting the scheduling policy and

scheduling parameters of the process specified by <I>pid</I> to the
|

values specified by <I>policy</I> and the structure pointed to by
|
||
<I>param</I>, respectively.
