priocntlset(2)
NAME
  priocntlset - change scheduling property of a process or set of processes

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <sys/procset.h>
  #include <sys/priocntl.h>
  #include <sys/rtpriocntl.h>
  #include <sys/tspriocntl.h>

  int priocntlset(
	  procset_t *psp,
	  int cmd,
	  void *arg );

PARAMETERS
  arg Specifies a pointer to a structure.  The type of structure depends on
      the value you select for the cmd parameter.

  cmd Specifies the functions to be performed.

  psp Specifies a pointer to a procset structure.

DESCRIPTION
  This function is used to change the scheduling properties of a running
  process or group of processes.  While the priocntl(2) function performs the
  same tasks, this function enables you to specify the process or set of
  processes that will change in a less complicated manner.

  How the process changes depends on the value you select for the cmd
  parameter.  The value of the arg parameter is dependent on the value you
  select for the cmd parameter.	 See the priocntl function for detailed
  information on these parameters.

  The psp parameter enables you to identify the process or set of processes
  that is to be affected by this call.	This parameter points to a procset.h
  structure which defines the selection process. In the <sys/procset.h>, a
  setprocset macro is defined that displays a means of initializing the
  procset structure. For more information on this structure, see the
  procset(4) reference page.

RETURN VALUE
  This system call returns the same values as the priocntl function.

ERRORS
  This system call returns the same errors as priocntl function.
