sys_sched_setattr(9)

💅 sys_sched_setattr(9) — Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to the sys_sched_setattr(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is short and sweet, so let’s get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

sys_sched_setattr — same as above, but with extended sched_attr. No cap, that’s the whole name vibe.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pid — the pid in question. Yes, literally the pid in question — main character identifier energy.
• uattr — structure containing the extended parameters. This is where the extended parameter info lives, bestie.
• flags — for future extension. Future-extension flags, iykyk — not today’s plotline.
