       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_e_t_s_c_h_e_d_p_r_i_o() function shall set the scheduling priority
       for the thread whose thread ID is given by _t_h_r_e_a_d to the value given by
       _p_r_i_o.  See _S_c_h_e_d_u_l_i_n_g _P_o_l_i_c_i_e_s for a description on how this function
       call affects the ordering of the thread in the thread list for its new
       priority.

       If the _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_e_t_s_c_h_e_d_p_r_i_o() function fails, the scheduling priority
       of the target thread shall not be changed.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       If successful, the _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_e_t_s_c_h_e_d_p_r_i_o() function shall return zero;
       otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

EERRRROORRSS
       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_e_t_s_c_h_e_d_p_r_i_o() function may fail if:

       EEIINNVVAALL The value of _p_r_i_o is invalid for the scheduling policy of the
              specified thread.

       EEPPEERRMM  The caller does not have appropriate privileges to set the
              scheduling priority of the specified thread.

       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_e_t_s_c_h_e_d_p_r_i_o() function shall not return an error code of
       [[EEIINNTTRR]].

RRAATTIIOONNAALLEE
       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_e_t_s_c_h_e_d_p_r_i_o() function provides a way for an application
       to temporarily raise its priority and then lower it again, without
       having the undesired side-effect of yielding to other threads of the
       same priority. This is necessary if the application is to implement its
       own strategies for bounding priority inversion, such as priority
       inheritance or priority ceilings. This capability is especially
       important if the implementation does not support the Thread Priority
       Protection or Thread Priority Inheritance options, but even if those
       options are supported it is needed if the application is to bound
       priority inheritance for other resources, such as semaphores.

       The standard developers considered that while it might be preferable
       conceptually to solve this problem by modifying the specification of
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_e_t_s_c_h_e_d_p_a_r_a_m(), it was too late to make such a change, as
       there may be implementations that would need to be changed. Therefore,
       this new function was introduced.

       If an implementation detects use of a thread ID after the end of its
       lifetime, it is recommended that the function should fail and report an
       [[EESSRRCCHH]] error.
