+PR_SetThreadPriority
+====================
+
+Sets the priority of a specified thread.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prthread.h>
+
+ void PR_SetThreadPriority(
+ PRThread *thread,
+ PRThreadPriority priority);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`PR_SetThreadPriority` has the following parameters:
+
+``thread``
+ A valid identifier for the thread whose priority you want to set.
+``priority``
+ The priority you want to set.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Modifying the priority of a thread other than the calling thread is
+risky. It is difficult to ensure that the state of the target thread
+permits a priority adjustment without ill effects. It is preferable for
+a thread to specify itself in the thread parameter when it calls
+:ref:`PR_SetThreadPriority`.
