http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getpriority.2.html     2015-07-23

1.
What I see: "lower priorities cause more favorable scheduling".
What I expect: "lower values (higher priority) cause more favorable scheduling".

2.
What I see: "Only the superuser may lower priorities".
What I expect: "Only the superuser may lower values (boost/increase
the priorities)".

3.
What I see: "The caller attempted to lower a process priority".
What I expect: "The caller attempted to lower a priority value (to
increase a priority)".

4.
Add to section "SEE ALSO" the reference to "nice(2)" -
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/nice.2.html

Why I think so: The man page GETPRIORITY(2) should be in synch with
nice(2) http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/nice.2.html
Both getpriority(2) and nice(2) are referred by sched(7) section
"SCHED_OTHER: Default Linux time-sharing scheduling" -
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/sched.7.html.
