+.SH NAME
+getpriority, setpriority \- get/set program scheduling priority
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/resource.h>
+.PP
+.BI "int getpriority(int " which ", id_t " who );
+.BI "int setpriority(int " which ", id_t " who ", int " prio );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The scheduling priority of the process, process group, or user, as
+indicated by
+.I which
+and
+.I who
+is obtained with the
+.BR getpriority ()
+call and set with the
+.BR setpriority ()
+call.
+The process attribute dealt with by these system calls is
+the same attribute (also known as the "nice" value) that is dealt with by
+.BR nice (2).
+.PP
+The value
+.I which
+is one of
+.BR PRIO_PROCESS ,
+.BR PRIO_PGRP ,
+or
+.BR PRIO_USER ,
+and
+.I who
+is interpreted relative to
+.I which
+(a process identifier for
+.BR PRIO_PROCESS ,
+process group
+identifier for
+.BR PRIO_PGRP ,
+and a user ID for
+.BR PRIO_USER ).
+A zero value for
+.I who
+denotes (respectively) the calling process, the process group of the
+calling process, or the real user ID of the calling process.
+.PP
+The
+.I prio
+argument is a value in the range \-20 to 19 (but see NOTES below),
+with \-20 being the highest priority and 19 being the lowest priority.
+Attempts to set a priority outside this range
+are silently clamped to the range.
+The default priority is 0;
+lower values give a process a higher scheduling priority.
+.PP
+The
+.BR getpriority ()
+call returns the highest priority (lowest numerical value)
+enjoyed by any of the specified processes.
+The
+.BR setpriority ()
+call sets the priorities of all of the specified processes
+to the specified value.
+.PP
+Traditionally, only a privileged process could lower the nice value
+(i.e., set a higher priority).
+However, since Linux 2.6.12, an unprivileged process can decrease
+the nice value of a target process that has a suitable
+.B RLIMIT_NICE
+soft limit; see
+.BR getrlimit (2)
+for details.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR getpriority ()
+returns the calling thread's nice value, which may be a negative number.
+On error, it returns \-1 and sets
+.I errno
+to indicate the error.
+.PP
+Since a successful call to
+.BR getpriority ()
+can legitimately return the value \-1, it is necessary
+to clear
+.I errno
+prior to the
+call, then check
+.I errno
+afterward to determine
+if \-1 is an error or a legitimate value.
+.PP
+.BR setpriority ()
+returns 0 on success.
+On failure, it returns \-1 and sets
+.I errno
+to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EACCES
+The caller attempted to set a lower nice value
+(i.e., a higher process priority), but did not
+have the required privilege (on Linux: did not have the
+.B CAP_SYS_NICE
+capability).
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.I which
+was not one of
+.BR PRIO_PROCESS ,
+.BR PRIO_PGRP ,
+or
+.BR PRIO_USER .
+.TP
+.B EPERM
+A process was located, but its effective user ID did not match
+either the effective or the real user ID of the caller,
+and was not privileged (on Linux: did not have the
+.B CAP_SYS_NICE
+capability).
+But see NOTES below.
+.TP
+.B ESRCH
+No process was located using the
+.I which
+and
+.I who
+values specified.
+.SH STANDARDS
+POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+POSIX.1-2001,
+SVr4, 4.4BSD (these interfaces first appeared in 4.2BSD).
+.SH NOTES
+For further details on the nice value, see
+.BR sched (7).
+.PP
+.IR Note :
+the addition of the "autogroup" feature in Linux 2.6.38 means that
+the nice value no longer has its traditional effect in many circumstances.
+For details, see
+.BR sched (7).
+.PP
+A child created by
+.BR fork (2)
+inherits its parent's nice value.
+The nice value is preserved across
+.BR execve (2).
+.PP
+The details on the condition for
+.B EPERM
+depend on the system.
+The above description is what POSIX.1-2001 says, and seems to be followed on
+all System\ V-like systems.
+Linux kernels before Linux 2.6.12 required the real or
+effective user ID of the caller to match
+the real user of the process \fIwho\fP (instead of its effective user ID).
+Linux 2.6.12 and later require
+the effective user ID of the caller to match
+the real or effective user ID of the process \fIwho\fP.
+All BSD-like systems (SunOS 4.1.3, Ultrix 4.2,
+4.3BSD, FreeBSD 4.3, OpenBSD-2.5, ...) behave in the same
+manner as Linux 2.6.12 and later.
+.\"
+.SS C library/kernel differences
+The getpriority system call returns nice values translated to the range 40..1,
+since a negative return value would be interpreted as an error.
+The glibc wrapper function for
+.BR getpriority ()
+translates the value back according to the formula
+.I unice\~=\~20\~\-\~knice
+(thus, the 40..1 range returned by the kernel
+corresponds to the range \-20..19 as seen by user space).
+.SH BUGS
+According to POSIX, the nice value is a per-process setting.
+However, under the current Linux/NPTL implementation of POSIX threads,
+the nice value is a per-thread attribute:
+different threads in the same process can have different nice values.
+Portable applications should avoid relying on the Linux behavior,
+which may be made standards conformant in the future.
