posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy(3C)

Name

posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy, posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy - get and set spawn-schedpolicy attribute of spawn attributes object

Synopsis

#include <spawn.h>
#include <sched.h>

int posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy(
     const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr,
     int *restrict schedpolicy);
int posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy(posix_spawnattr_t *attr,
     int schedpolicy);

Description

The posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy() function obtains the value of the spawn-schedpolicy attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr.

The posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy() function sets the spawn-schedpolicy attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced by attr.

The spawn-schedpolicy attribute represents the scheduling policy to be assigned to the new process image in a spawn operation (if POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER is set in the spawn-flags attribute). The default value of this attribute is unspecified.

Return Values

Upon successful completion, posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy() returns 0 and stores the value of the spawn-schedpolicy attribute of attr into the object referenced by the schedpolicy parameter. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.

Upon successful completion, posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy() returns 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.

Errors

These functions may fail if:

EINVAL

The value specified by attr is invalid.

The posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy() function may fail if:
