PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_GETPRIOCEPOSIX(ProgrammePTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_GETPRIOCEILING(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling,  pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling   —
       get  and	 set  the prioceiling attribute of the mutex attributes object
       (REALTIME THREADS)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling(const pthread_mutexattr_t
	   *restrict attr, int *restrict prioceiling);
       int pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr,
	   int prioceiling);

DESCRIPTION
       The pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling()  and  pthread_mutexattr_setprio‐
       ceiling() functions, respectively, shall get and set the priority ceil‐
       ing attribute of a mutex attributes object pointed to by attr which was
       previously created by the function pthread_mutexattr_init().

       The  prioceiling attribute contains the priority ceiling of initialized
       mutexes. The values of prioceiling are within the maximum range of pri‐
       orities defined by SCHED_FIFO.

       The  prioceiling	 attribute defines the priority ceiling of initialized
       mutexes, which is the minimum priority level at which the critical sec‐
       tion  guarded  by  the  mutex  is  executed. In order to avoid priority
       inversion, the priority ceiling of the mutex shall be set to a priority
       higher  than  or	 equal to the highest priority of all the threads that
       may lock that mutex. The values of prioceiling are within  the  maximum
       range of priorities defined under the SCHED_FIFO scheduling policy.

       The  behavior  is undefined if the value specified by the attr argument
       to pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling() or pthread_mutexattr_setprioceil‐
       ing() does not refer to an initialized mutex attributes object.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful completion, the pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling() and
       pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling() functions shall return zero;	other‐
       wise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       These functions may fail if:

       EINVAL The value specified by prioceiling is invalid.

       EPERM  The caller does not have the privilege to perform the operation.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       None.

RATIONALE
       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr argu‐
       ment to pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling() or pthread_mutexattr_setpri‐
       oceiling() does not refer to an initialized mutex attributes object, it
       is recommended that the function should fail  and  report  an  [EINVAL]
       error.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
