- .nf
- #include <sched.h>
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- .IR <sched.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR pid_t
- type as described in
- .IR <sys/types.h> .
- .P
- The
- .IR <sched.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR time_t
- type as described in
- .IR <sys/types.h> .
- .P
- The
- .IR <sched.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR timespec
- structure as described in
- .IR <time.h> .
- .P
- The
- .IR <sched.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR sched_param
- structure, which shall include the scheduling parameters required for
- implementation of each supported scheduling policy. This structure
- shall include at least the following member:
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- int sched_priority \fRProcess or thread execution scheduling priority.\fP
- .fi
- .P
- .RE
- .P
- The
- .BR sched_param
- structure defined in
- .IR <sched.h>
- shall include the following members in addition to those specified
- above:
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- int sched_ss_low_priority \fRLow scheduling priority for\fR
- \fRsporadic server.\fR
- struct timespec sched_ss_repl_period \fRReplenishment period for\fR
- \fRsporadic server.\fR
- struct timespec sched_ss_init_budget \fRInitial budget for sporadic server.\fR
- int sched_ss_max_repl \fRMaximum pending replenishments for\fR
- \fRsporadic server.\fR

- .P
- Each process or thread is controlled by an associated scheduling policy
- and priority. Associated with each policy is a priority range. Each
- policy definition specifies the minimum priority range for that
- policy. The priority ranges for each policy may overlap the priority
- ranges of other policies.
- .P
- Four scheduling policies are defined; others may be defined by the
- implementation. The four standard policies are indicated by the
- values of the following symbolic constants:
- .IP SCHED_FIFO 14
- First in-first out (FIFO) scheduling policy.
- .IP SCHED_RR 14
- Round robin scheduling policy.
- .IP SCHED_SPORADIC 14
- Sporadic server scheduling policy.
- .IP SCHED_OTHER 14
- Another scheduling policy.
- .P
- The values of these constants are distinct.
- .P
- The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined
- as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
- .sp
- .RS 4

- int sched_get_priority_max(int);
- int sched_get_priority_min(int);
- int sched_getparam(pid_t, struct sched_param *);

- int sched_rr_get_interval(pid_t, struct timespec *);
- int sched_setparam(pid_t, const struct sched_param *);
- int sched_setscheduler(pid_t, int, const struct sched_param *);
- int sched_yield(void);
