       sched_get_priority_max,  sched_get_priority_min  -  get priority limits
       (REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sched.h>

       int sched_get_priority_max(int policy);
       int sched_get_priority_min(int policy);

DESCRIPTION

       The  sched_get_priority_max()  and  sched_get_priority_min()  functions
       shall  return the appropriate maximum or minimum, respectively, for the
       scheduling policy specified by policy.

       The value of policy shall  be  one  of  the  scheduling  policy  values
       defined in <sched.h>.

RETURN VALUE

       If       successful,       the       sched_get_priority_max()       and
       sched_get_priority_min() functions shall return the appropriate maximum
       or  minimum  values, respectively. If unsuccessful, they shall return a
       value of -1 and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The  sched_get_priority_max()  and  sched_get_priority_min()  functions
       shall fail if:

       EINVAL The  value  of the policy parameter does not represent a defined
