SCHED_POLICY (INT)(9)

💅 sched_policy (int) 💅

okay so this is page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (kernel API land, iykyk) — and it's a short one, so grab a lil snack and let's go 🍓

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So like, sched_policy (int) is literally the int-flavored sched_policy, and the whole vibe is: it's used to override the default entities scheduling policy in a run queue. That's it, that's the tea 🫖 — one line of pure main character energy.

no cap, that's genuinely the entire description. short and iconic, periodt 💅
