int sched_get_priority_max(int policy);
int sched_get_priority_min(int policy);
DESCRIPTION
sched_get_priority_max() returns the maximum priority value that can be used with the
scheduling algorithm identified by policy.
sched_get_priority_min() returns the minimum priority value that can be used with the
scheduling algorithm identified by policy. Supported policy
values are
SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, SCHED_OTHER, and
SCHED_BATCH. Further details about these policies can be found in
sched_setscheduler(2).
Processes with numerically higher priority values are scheduled before processes with numerically lower priority values. Thus, the value returned by sched_get_priority_max() will be greater than the value returned by sched_get_priority_min().
Linux allows the static priority value range 1 to 99 for SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR and the priority 0 for SCHED_OTHER and SCHED_BATCH. Scheduling priority ranges for the various policies are not alterable.
The range of scheduling priorities may vary on other POSIX systems, thus it is a good idea for portable applications to use a virtual priority range and map it to the interval given by sched_get_priority_max() and sched_get_priority_min(). POSIX.1-2001 requires a spread of at least 32 between the maximum and the minimum values for SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR.
POSIX systems on which sched_get_priority_max() and sched_get_priority_min() are available define _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING in <unistd.h>.
