.ig @(#)nice.2 2.1 7/1/84 @(#)Copyright (C) 1983 by National Semiconductor Corp. .. .TH NICE 2 .SH NAME nice \- set program priority .SH SYNOPSIS .B nice(incr) .SH DESCRIPTION The scheduling priority of the process is augmented by .IR incr . Positive priorities get less service than normal. Priority 10 is recommended to users who wish to execute long-running programs without flak from the administration. .PP Negative increments are ignored except on behalf of the super-user. The priority is limited to the range \-20 (most urgent) to 20 (least). .PP The priority of a process is passed to a child process by .IR fork (2). For a privileged process to return to normal priority from an unknown state, .I nice should be called successively with arguments \-40 (goes to priority \-20 because of truncation), 20 (to get to 0), then 0 (to maintain compatibility with previous versions of this call). .SH "SEE ALSO" nice(1), fork(2), renice(8)
