== OPTIONS
*-n* _priority_::
-Specify the *absolute* or *relative* (depending on environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT) scheduling _priority_ to be used for the process, process group, or user. Use of the option *-n* is optional, but when used it must be the first argument. See *NOTES* for more information.

*--priority* _priority_::
Specify an *absolute* scheduling _priority_. _Priority_ is set to the given value. This is the default, when no option is specified.
*--relative* _priority_::
-Specify a *relative* scheduling _priority_. Same a the standard POSIX *-n* option. _Priority_ gets _incremented/decremented_ by the given value.
+Specify a *relative* scheduling _priority_. Same as the standard POSIX *-n* option. _Priority_ gets _incremented/decremented_ by the given value.
*-g*, *--pgrp*::
Interpret the succeeding arguments as process group IDs.
The superuser may alter the priority of any process and set the priority to any value in the range -20 to 19. 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).
-For historical reasons in this implementation, the *-n* option did not follow the POSIX specification, therefore instead of setting a *relative* priority it sets an *absolute* priority by default. As this may not be desirable, this behavior can be controlled by setting the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT to be fully POSIX compliant. See *-n* option for details. See *--relative* and *--priority* for options that don't change behavior depending on environment variables.
