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.
