sched_get_priority_max(2) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
NAME
sched_get_priority_max - Returns the maximum priority for a scheduling policy
LIBRARY
G-series native OSS processes: /G/system/sysnn/zsptsrl
32-bit H-series and J-series OSS processes that use the POSIX User Thread Model library:
/G/system/zdllnnn/zputdll
64-bit H-series and J-series OSS processes that use the POSIX User Thread Model library:
/G/system/zdllnnn/yputdll
H-series and J-series OSS processes that use the Standard POSIX Threads library:
/G/system/zdllnnn/zsptdll
SYNOPSIS
[#include <sched.h>] #include <pthread.h> | #include <spthread.h>
/* pthread.h is required to use POSIX User Thread Model library */
/* spthread.h is required to use Standard POSIX Threads library */
int sched_get_priority_max(
int policy);
PARAMETERS
policy Specifies one of the scheduling policies defined in the sched.h header file.
DESCRIPTION
The sched_get_priority_max() function returns the maximum priority for the scheduling policy
specified by the policy parameter. The value of policy must be one of the scheduling policies
(SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR,orSCHED_OTHER) defined in the sched.h header file.
No special privileges are needed to use the sched_get_priority_max() function.
On systems running H06.21 or later H-series RVUs or J06.10 or later J-series RVUs, you can use
either the POSIX User Thread Model library or the Standard POSIX Threads library for threaded
applications.
To use this function in a threaded application that uses the POSIX User Thread Model library on
systems running H06.21 or later RVUs or J06.10 or later RVUs, you must perform all of the fol-
lowing tasks:
• Include the pthread.h header file in the application.
• Compile the application using the _PUT_MODEL_ feature test macro or equivalent
compiler command option.
• Link the application to the zputdll library (/G/system/zdllnnn/zputdll).
On systems running H06.24 or later H-series RVUs or J06.13 or later J-series RVUs, you can use
the POSIX User Thread Model library with 32-bit or 64-bit threaded applications.
To use this function in a 32-bit threaded application that uses the POSIX User Thread Model
library on systems running H06.24 or later RVUs or J06.13 or later RVUs, perform the same
tasks (described above) used to enable the POSIX User Thread Model library on systems running
H06.21/J06.10 or later RVUs.
To use this function in a 64-bit threaded application that uses the POSIX User Thread Model
library on systems running H06.24 or later RVUs or J06.13 or later RVUs, you must perform all
of the following tasks:
• Include the pthread.h header file in the application.
