sched_get_priority_max, sched_get_priority_min - get static priority range

<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>sched_get_priority_max</B>()
returns the maximum priority value that can be used with the
scheduling algorithm identified by
<I>policy</I>.
<B>sched_get_priority_min</B>()
returns the minimum priority value that can be used with the
scheduling algorithm identified by
<I>policy</I>.
Supported
<I>policy</I>
values are
<B>SCHED_FIFO</B>,
<B>SCHED_RR</B>,
<B>SCHED_OTHER</B>,
<B>SCHED_BATCH</B>,
<B>SCHED_IDLE</B>,
and
<B>SCHED_DEADLINE</B>.
Further details about these policies can be found in
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+sched">sched</A></B>(7).
<P>
Processes with numerically higher priority values are scheduled before
processes with numerically lower priority values.
Thus, the value
returned by
<B>sched_get_priority_max</B>()
will be greater than the
value returned by
<B>sched_get_priority_min</B>().
<P>
Linux allows the static priority range 1 to 99 for the
<B>SCHED_FIFO</B>
and
<B>SCHED_RR</B>
policies, and the priority 0 for the remaining policies.
Scheduling priority ranges for the various policies
are not alterable.
<P>
The range of scheduling priorities may vary on other POSIX systems,
thus it is a good idea for portable applications to use a virtual
priority range and map it to the interval given by
<B>sched_get_priority_max</B>()
and
<B>sched_get_priority_min</B>
POSIX.1 requires
a spread of at least 32 between the maximum and the minimum values for
<B>SCHED_FIFO</B>
and
<B>SCHED_RR</B>.
<P>
POSIX systems on which
<B>sched_get_priority_max</B>()
and
<B>sched_get_priority_min</B>()
are available define
<B>_POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING</B>
in
<I>&lt;<A HREF="file:///usr/include/unistd.h">unistd.h</A>&gt;</I>.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
On success,
<B>sched_get_priority_max</B>()
and
<B>sched_get_priority_min</B>()
return the maximum/minimum priority value for the named scheduling
policy.
On error, -1 is returned, and
<I>errno</I>
is set appropriately.

<H2>ERRORS</H2>

The argument
<I>policy</I>
does not identify a defined scheduling policy.
