int sched_get_priority_max(int
policy);
int sched_get_priority_min(int
policy); [Option End]

CHANGE HISTORY

First released in Issue 5. Included for alignment with the POSIX Realtime Extension.

Issue 6

These functions are marked as part of the Process Scheduling option.

The [ENOSYS] error condition has been removed as stubs need not be provided if an implementation does not support the Process Scheduling option.

The [ESRCH] error condition has been removed since these functions do not take a pid argument.

IEEE Std 1003.1-2001/Cor 1-2002, item XSH/TC1/D6/52 is applied, changing the PS margin code in the SYNOPSIS to PS|TPS.
