<h2>pthread_setschedparam()--Set Target Thread Scheduling Parameters</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 70%;">
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax:
<pre>
#include &lt;pthread.h&gt;
#include &lt;sched.h&gt;
int pthread_setschedparam(pthread_t thread, int policy,
const struct sched_param *param);
</pre>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Program Name: QP0WPTHR<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Default Public Authority: *USE<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Threadsafe: Yes<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Signal Safe: No<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
</div>
<p>The <strong>pthread_setschedparam</strong>() function sets the scheduling
parameters of the target thread. The supported i5/OS scheduling
<em>policy</em> is <strong>SCHED_OTHER</strong>. An attempt to set the
<em>policy</em> to a value other than this cause the <strong>EINVAL</strong>
error. The <em>sched_priority</em> field of the <em>param</em> parameter must
range from <strong>PRIORITY_MIN</strong> to <strong>PRIORITY_MAX</strong> or
the <strong>ENOTSUP</strong> error occurs.</p>
<p>All reserved fields in the scheduling parameters structure must be binary 0
or the EINVAL error occurs.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Do not use <strong>pthread_setschedparam</strong>()
to set the priority of a thread if you also use another mechanism (outside of
the pthread APIs) to set the priority of a thread. If you do,
<strong>pthread_getschedparam</strong>() returns only that information that was
set by the pthread interfaces (<strong>pthread_setschedparam</strong>() or
modification of the thread attribute using
<strong>pthread_attr_setschedparam</strong>()).</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>thread</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) Pthread handle of the target thread<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong>policy</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) Scheduling policy (must be <strong>SCHED_OTHER</strong>)<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong>param</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) Scheduling parameters</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>0</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_setschedparam</strong>() was successful.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong>value</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_setschedparam</strong>() was not successful. <em>value</em>
is set to indicate the error condition.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>pthread_setschedparam</strong>() was not successful, the error
condition returned usually indicates one of the following errors. Under some
conditions, the value returned could indicate an error other than those listed
here.</p>
<dl>
<dt><em>[EINVAL]</em></dt>
<dd><p>The value specified for the argument is not correct.</p></dd>
<dt><em>[ENOTSUP]</em></dt>
<dd><p>The value specified for the priority argument is not supported.</p></dd>
</dl>
