This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
.SH NAME
sched_getparam \- get scheduling parameters (\fBREALTIME\fP)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <sched.h>
.br
.sp
int sched_getparam(pid_t\fP \fIpid\fP\fB, struct sched_param *\fP\fIparam\fP\fB);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIsched_getparam\fP() function shall return the scheduling parameters
of a process specified by \fIpid\fP in the
\fBsched_param\fP structure pointed to by \fIparam\fP.
.LP
If a process specified by \fIpid\fP exists, and if the calling process
has permission, the scheduling parameters for the
process whose process ID is equal to \fIpid\fP shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIpid\fP is zero, the scheduling parameters for the calling process
shall be returned. The behavior of the
\fIsched_getparam\fP() function is unspecified if the value of \fIpid\fP
is negative.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, the \fIsched_getparam\fP() function shall
return zero. If the call to \fIsched_getparam\fP() is
unsuccessful, the function shall return a value of -1 and set \fIerrno\fP
to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
The \fIsched_getparam\fP() function shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B EPERM
The requesting process does not have permission to obtain the scheduling
parameters of the specified process.
.TP 7
.B ESRCH
No process can be found corresponding to that specified by \fIpid\fP.
