pthread_getprio(3)
NAME
pthread_getprio - Obtains the current priority of a thread
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h> int pthread_getprio( pthread_t thread);
PARAMETERS
threadThread whose priority is obtained.
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_getprio() routine obtains the current priority of a thread. The current priority is different from the initial priority of the thread if the pthread_setprio() routine is called. The exact effect of different priority values depends upon the scheduling policy assigned to the thread.
RETURN VALUES
The current priority value of the thread specified in thread is returned. (See the pthread_setprio() reference page for valid values.) If the function fails, errno may be set to one of the following values:
| Return | Error | Description |
| Priority value | Successful completion. | |
| −1 | [EINVAL] | The value specified by thread is invalid. |
| −1 | [ESRCH] | The value specified by thread does not refer to an existing thread. |
