How to increase thread priority in pthreads?

Viewed 109389

I am using pthread in Linux. I would like to increase the thread priority by setting the parameters sched_param.priority. However, I could not find much info from the net regarding the range of the thread priority I could set, or about the description of the thread priority.

Also, I would like to know about the relative thread priority as I would not want to set the thread priority to be too high and resulting the OS to halt. Could someone help me with this?
