sys_sched_getattr(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ sys_sched_getattr ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie — yes, the kernel API manual, we're literally in the big leagues now 💅 and this one's all about sys_sched_getattr.

🌸 NAME 🌸

sys_sched_getattr — it's giving sched_getparam energy, but make it sched_attr. Like, same vibe, upgraded fit. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

long sys_sched_getattr (pid_t pid , struct sched_attr __user * uattr ,
       unsigned int usize , unsigned int flags );

look at her go, four whole arguments, main character energy fr fr 🔥

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • pid — the pid in question. like, which process are we talking about, bestie? 👀
  • uattr — structure containing the extended parameters. the whole extended-params situation lives in here ✨
  • usize — sizeof(attr) for fwd/bwd comp. (that's forward/backward compatibility, iykyk 🫶)
  • flags — for future extension. currently just sitting there being a placeholder icon 👑 not me manifesting future features

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file ./kernel/sched/syscalls.c and its whole friend group — literally the most stacked squad lineup ever:

like, every single one, no skips, we don't gatekeep here 💜

ok that's the whole page bestie, go forth and sched_getattr responsibly 🧚‍♀️

and finally, a cute lil sign-off: this page lives in ./kernel/sched, it's dated October 2026, and it's tagged sys_sched_getattr(9) — slay, periodt. 🍓💫
