.TP
.BR \-h , " \-\-help"
Display help text and exit.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-The following command would change the priority of the processes with
-PIDs 987 and 32, plus all processes owned by the users daemon and root:
+.SH FILES
.TP
-.B " renice" +1 987 -u daemon root -p 32
+.I /etc/passwd
+to map user names to user IDs
.SH NOTES
Users other than the superuser may only alter the priority of processes they
own. Furthermore, an unprivileged user can only
the ``nice value'' (i.e., choose a lower priority)
and such changes are irreversible unless (since Linux 2.6.12)
the user has a suitable ``nice'' resource limit (see
-.BR ulimit (1)
+.BR ulimit (1p)
and
.BR getrlimit (2)).
Useful priorities are: 19 (the affected processes will run only when nothing
else in the system wants to), 0 (the ``base'' scheduling priority), anything
negative (to make things go very fast).
