.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.B chrt
sets or retrieves the real-time scheduling attributes of an existing \fIpid\fR,
-or runs \fIcommand\fR with the given attributes. Both policy (one of
-.BR SCHED_OTHER ,
-.BR SCHED_FIFO ,
-.BR SCHED_RR ,
-.BR SCHED_BATCH ,
-or
-.BR SCHED_IDLE )
-and priority can be set and retrieved.
-.PP
-The
-.BR SCHED_BATCH
-policy is supported since Linux 2.6.16. The
-.BR SCHED_IDLE
-policy is supported since Linux 2.6.23.
-.PP
-The
-.BR SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK
-flag for policies SCHED_RR and SCHED_FIFO is supported
-since Linux 2.6.31.
-.SH OPTIONS

-.B -a, --all-tasks
-Set or retrieve the scheduling attributes of all the tasks (threads) for a

+\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-other\fR
+Set scheduling policy to

-.B -b, --batch
+\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-fifo\fR
+Set scheduling policy to \fBSCHED_FIFO\fR.

+\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-rr\fR
Set scheduling policy to

-(Linux specific).
+.BR SCHED_RR .
+When no policy is defined, the
+.B SCHED_RR
+is used as the default.

-.B -f, --fifo
+\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-batch\fR
Set scheduling policy to

+.B SCHED_BATCH
+(Linux-specific, supported since 2.6.16). The priority argument has to be set to zero.

-.B -i, --idle
+\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-idle\fR

-(Linux specific).

-.B -m, --max
-Show minimum and maximum valid priorities, then exit.
+.BR -d ,\ --deadline
+Set scheduling policy to

+(Linux-specific, supported since 3.14). The priority argument has to be set to zero.
+See also \fB\-\-sched\-runtime\fR, \fB\-\-sched\-deadline\fR and
+\fB\-\-sched\-period\fR. The relation between the options required by the kernel is

+copies \fIperiod\fR to \fIdeadline\fR if \fB\-\-sched\-deadline\fR is not specified and
+\fIdeadline\fR to \fIruntime\fR if \fB\-\-sched\-runtime\fR is not specified.
+It means that at least \fB\-\-sched\-period\fR has to be specified. See

You can also retrieve the real-time attributes of an existing task:

Or set them:
.B chrt \-r \-p

+.I priority pid
.SH PERMISSIONS
A user must possess
.BR CAP_SYS_NICE
to change the scheduling attributes of a process. Any user can retrieve the
scheduling information.

.SH NOTES
Only
.BR SCHED_FIFO ,
.BR SCHED_OTHER
and
.BR SCHED_RR
-are part of POSIX 1003.1b Process Scheduling. The other scheduling attributes
+are part of POSIX 1003.1b Process Scheduling. The other scheduling attributes
may be ignored on some systems.
