# NAME

`posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy`, `posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy` —
get and set the spawn-schedpolicy attribute of a spawn attributes object

# LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <spawn.h>`

int
`posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy`(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr, int *restrict schedpolicy);

int
`posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy`(posix_spawnattr_t *attr, int schedpolicy);

# DESCRIPTION

The `posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy`() function obtains the value of the spawn-schedpolicy attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr.

The `posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy`() function sets the spawn-schedpolicy attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced by attr.

The spawn-schedpolicy attribute represents the scheduling policy to be assigned to the new process image in a spawn operation (if `POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER` is set in the spawn-flags attribute). The default value of this attribute is unspecified.

# RETURN VALUES

The `posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy`() and `posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy`() functions return zero.
