- The nniiccee() function obtains the scheduling priority of the process from
- the system and sets it to the priority value specified in _i_n_c_r. The pri-
- ority is a value in the range -20 to 20. The default priority is 0; low-
- er priorities cause more favorable scheduling. Only the super-user may
- lower priorities.
-
- Children inherit the priority of their parent processes via fork(2).
