.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR pthread_attr_setschedpolicy ()
This attribute determines the scheduling policy of
a thread created using the thread attributes object
.IR attr .
-
+.PP
The supported values for
.I policy
are
and
.BR SCHED_OTHER ,
with the semantics described in
-.BR sched_setscheduler (2).
+.BR sched (7).
.\" FIXME . pthread_setschedparam() places no restriction on the policy,
.\" but pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() restricts policy to RR/FIFO/OTHER
.\" http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7013
-
+.PP
The
.BR pthread_attr_getschedpolicy ()
returns the scheduling policy attribute of the thread attributes object
.IR attr
in the buffer pointed to by
.IR policy .
+.PP
+In order for the policy setting made by
+.BR pthread_attr_setschedpolicy ()
+to have effect when calling
+.BR pthread_create (3),
+the caller must use
+.BR pthread_attr_setinheritsched (3)
+to set the inherit-scheduler attribute of the attributes object
+.I attr
+to
+.BR PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED .
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return 0;
on error, they return a nonzero error number.
Invalid value in
.IR policy .
