SchedGet(), SchedGet

Get the scheduling policy and parameters for a thread

Synopsis:

#include <sys/neutrino.h>

int SchedGet( pid_t pid,
              int tid,
              struct sched_param *param );

int SchedGet_r( pid_t pid,
                int tid,
                struct sched_param *param );

Arguments:

pid: 0 or a process ID; see below.
tid: 0 or a thread ID; see below.
param: NULL, or a pointer to a sched_param structure where the function can store the scheduling parameters.

Library:

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Description:

The SchedGet() and SchedGet_r() kernel calls return the current scheduling policy and parameters for the thread specified by tid in the process specified by pid. If pid is zero, the current process is used to look up a nonzero tid. If pid and tid are zero, then the calling thread is used.

These functions are identical except in the way they indicate errors. See the Returns section for details.

Note:

Instead of using these kernel calls directly, consider calling pthread_getschedparam(), sched_getparam(), or sched_getscheduler().
In order to get the scheduling policy and parameters for a thread whose real or saved user ID is different from the calling process's real or effective user ID, your process must have the PROCMGR_AID_SCHEDULE ability enabled. For more information, see procmgr_ability().

The scheduling policy is returned on success and is one of SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, SCHED_SPORADIC, or SCHED_OTHER.

Blocking states

These calls don't block.

Returns:

The current scheduling policy. If an error occurs:

SchedGet() returns -1 and sets errno.
SchedGet_r() returns the negative of a value from the Errors section and doesn't set errno.

Errors:

EFAULT: A fault occurred when the kernel tried to access the buffers provided.
EPERM: The calling process doesn't have the required permission; see procmgr_ability().
ESRCH: The process indicated by pid or thread indicated by tid doesn't exist.

Classification:

QNX Neutrino

Safety:
Cancellation point	No
Interrupt handler	No
Signal handler	Yes
Thread	Yes
