/* sched_set.c

   Usage: sched_set policy priority pid...

   Sets the policy and priority of all process specified by the 'pid' arguments.

   See also sched_view.c.

   The distribution version of this code is slightly different from the code
   shown in the book in order to better fix a bug that was present in the code
   as originally shown in the book. See the erratum for page 743

Note that, in most cases, the programs rendered in these web pages are not free standing: you'll typically also need a few other source files (mostly in the lib/ subdirectory) as well. Generally, it's easier to just download the entire source tarball and build the programs with make(1). By hovering your mouse over the various hyperlinked include files and function calls above, you can see which other source files this file depends on.
