	      chrt -p pid

       Or set them:
	      chrt -p prio pid

PERMISSIONS
       A user must possess CAP_SYS_NICE to change the scheduling attributes of
       a process.  Any user can retrieve the scheduling information.

       Only SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_OTHER and SCHED_RR are  part  of	POSIX  1003.1b

       some systems.
