#### NAME

> posix_spawnattr_getschedparam, posix_spawnattr_setschedparam - get and set the spawn-schedparam attribute of a spawn attributes object (ADVANCED REALTIME)

#### SYNOPSIS

> ``[SPN PS] #include <spawn.h>
> #include <sched.h>
> int posix_spawnattr_getschedparam(const posix_spawnattr_t
> *restrict` attr`, struct sched_param *restrict` schedparam`);
> int posix_spawnattr_setschedparam(posix_spawnattr_t *restrict` attr`,
> const struct sched_param *restrict` schedparam`);``
> `
> `

#### DESCRIPTION

> The posix_spawnattr_getschedparam() function shall obtain the value of the spawn-schedparam attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr.

> The posix_spawnattr_setschedparam() function shall set the spawn-schedparam attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced by attr.

> The spawn-schedparam attribute represents the scheduling parameters to be assigned to the new process image in a spawn operation (if POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER or POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM is set in the spawn-flags attribute). The default value of this attribute is unspecified.

#### RETURN VALUE

> Upon successful completion, posix_spawnattr_getschedparam() shall return zero and store the value of the spawn-schedparam attribute of attr into the object referenced by the schedparam parameter; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

> Upon successful completion, posix_spawnattr_setschedparam() shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

#### ERRORS

> These functions may fail if:

> [EINVAL]
>   The value specified by attr is invalid.

> The posix_spawnattr_setschedparam() function may fail if:

> [EINVAL]
>   The value of the attribute being set is not valid.

#### APPLICATION USAGE

#### FUTURE DIRECTIONS

> None.
