Module unix

This module defines the unix thread control.

The crate’s prelude doesn’t have much control over the unix threads, and this module provides better control over those.

Structs

• DeadlineFlags
  Flags for controlling Deadline scheduling behavior.
• SchedAttr
  A copy of the Linux kernel’s sched_attr type.
• ScheduleParams
  Proxy structure to maintain compatibility between glibc and musl

Enums

• NormalThreadSchedulePolicy
  Normal (non-realtime) schedule policies For these schedule policies, niceness is used.
• PriorityPolicyEdgeValueType
  Defines the type of the priority edge value: minimum or maximum.
• RealtimeThreadSchedulePolicy
  The following “real-time” policies are also supported, for special time-critical applications that need precise control over the way in which runnable processes are selected for execution
• ThreadSchedulePolicy
  Thread schedule policy definition.

Constants

• NICENESS_MAX
  The maximum value possible for niceness. Threads with this value of niceness have the highest priority possible
• NICENESS_MIN
  The minimum value possible for niceness. Threads with this value of niceness have the lowest priority possible.

Traits

• ThreadExt
  A helper trait for other threads to implement to be able to call methods on threads themselves.

Functions

• get_current_thread_priority
  Get current thread’s priority value.
• get_thread_priority
  Get the thread’s priority value.
• get_thread_scheduling_attributes
  Returns scheduling attributes for the current thread.
• set_current_thread_priority
  Set current thread’s priority. In order to properly map a value of the thread priority, the thread scheduling must be known. This function attempts to retrieve the current thread’s scheduling policy and thus map the priority value correctly, so that it fits within the scheduling policy’s allowed range of values.
• set_thread_priority_and_policy
  Sets thread’s priority and schedule policy
• thread_native_id
  Returns current thread id, which is the current OS’s native handle. It may or may not be equal or even related to rust’s thread id, there is absolutely no guarantee for that.
• thread_schedule_policy
  Returns policy parameters (schedule policy and other schedule parameters) for current process
• thread_schedule_policy_param
  Returns policy parameters (schedule policy and other schedule parameters)

Type Aliases

• ThreadId
  An alias type for a thread id.
