18.SH DESCRIPTION
19The
20.BR pthread_setschedprio ()
21function sets the scheduling priority of the thread
22.I thread
23to the value specified in
24.IR prio .
25(By contrast
26.BR pthread_setschedparam (3)
27changes both the scheduling policy and priority of a thread.)
28.\" FIXME . nptl/pthread_setschedprio.c has the following
29.\" /* If the thread should have higher priority because of some
30.\" PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT mutexes it holds, adjust the priority. */
31.\" Eventually (perhaps after writing the mutexattr pages), we
32.\" may want to add something on the topic to this page.
33.\" nptl/pthread_setschedparam.c has a similar case.
34.SH RETURN VALUE
35On success, this function returns 0;
c7094399 36on error, it returns a nonzero error number.

41is not changed.
42.SH ERRORS
43.TP
44.B EINVAL
45.I prio
46is not valid for the scheduling policy of the specified thread.
