<H2><A HREF="#toc2" NAME="sect2">Description</A></H2>
<P>The <B>sched_getscheduler</B> function shall return the scheduling
policy of the process specified by <I>pid</I>. If the value of <I>pid</I>
is negative, the behavior of the <B>sched_getscheduler</B> function
is unspecified. 
</P>
<P>The values that can be returned by <B>sched_getscheduler</B> are
defined in the <I>&lt;sched.h&gt;</I> header. 
</P>
<P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> only supports the <B>SCHED_OTHER</B> policy,
which is the only value that can be returned. However, checks on <I>pid</I>
and permissions are performed first so that the other useful side
effects of this routine are retained.</P>
<P>If a process specified by <I>pid</I> exists, and if the calling
process has permission, the scheduling policy shall be returned for
the process whose process ID is equal to <I>pid</I>. 
</P>
<P>If <I>pid</I> is zero, the scheduling policy shall be returned for
the calling process. 
</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Return Value</A></H2>
<P>Upon successful completion, the <B>sched_getscheduler</B> function
shall return the scheduling policy of the specified process. If
unsuccessful, the function shall return -1 and set <I>errno</I> to
indicate the error. 
</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc4" NAME="sect4">Errors</A></H2>
<P>The <B>sched_getscheduler</B> function shall fail if:
