RAppArmor (version 0.8.1)

rlimit_nice: Limit nice value.

Description

Specifies a ceiling to which the process's nice value can be raised using setpriority(2) or nice(2).

Usage

rlimit_nice(hardlim, softlim = hardlim, pid = 0,
    verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

hardlim

priority value between -20 and 20

softlim

priority value between -20 and 20

pid

id of the target process

verbose

print some C output (TRUE/FALSE)

Details

Specifies a ceiling to which the process's nice value can be raised using setpriority(2) or nice(2). The actual ceiling for the nice value is calculated as 20 - rlim_cur. (This strangeness occurs because negative numbers cannot be specified as resource limit values, since they typically have special meanings. For example, RLIM_INFINITY typically is the same as -1.)
