PTHREAD_A...CHEDPOLICY(3P)

💖 PTHREAD_A...CHEDPOLICY — bestie edition 💖

okay so this page lives in the POSIX Programmer's Manual (yes, that's the manual name, it's giving very official 👑), and we're talking about pthread_attr_setschedpolicy — the glow-up that sets the schedpolicy attribute. REALTIME THREADS energy only. ✨

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

ok so real talk before we get into it, this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. but like, heads up bestie:

• the Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the actual deets on Linux behavior, fr fr
• or honestly, the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all 💀

so don't come for me if it's not there. check first. iykyk.

🎀 NAME 🎀

pthread_attr_setschedpolicy — set the schedpolicy attribute (REALTIME THREADS)

like literally that's the whole name section. short and iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(pthread_attr_t *attr, int policy);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, plot twist: this page doesn't even spill the tea itself. it just says—

Refer to pthread_attr_getschedpolicy().

that's the whole description. go read that one, bestie, it's got the actual lore. this page is just the setter's little sister. 💅
