.SH NAME
pthread_mutex_getprioceiling, pthread_mutex_setprioceiling \- get and
set the priority ceiling of a mutex (\fBREALTIME

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIpthread_mutex_getprioceiling\fP() function shall return the
current priority ceiling of the mutex.
.LP
The \fIpthread_mutex_setprioceiling\fP() function shall either lock
the mutex if it is unlocked, or block until it can
successfully lock the mutex, then it shall change the mutex's priority
ceiling and release the mutex. When the change is
successful, the previous value of the priority ceiling shall be returned
in \fIold_ceiling\fP. The process of locking the mutex
need not adhere to the priority protect protocol.
.LP
If the \fIpthread_mutex_setprioceiling\fP() function fails, the mutex
priority ceiling shall not be changed.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
If successful, the \fIpthread_mutex_getprioceiling\fP() and \fIpthread_mutex_setprioceiling\fP()
functions shall return zero;
otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
The \fIpthread_mutex_getprioceiling\fP() and \fIpthread_mutex_setprioceiling\fP()
functions may fail if:
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
The priority requested by \fIprioceiling\fP is out of range.
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
The value specified by \fImutex\fP does not refer to a currently existing
mutex.
.TP 7
.B EPERM
The caller does not have the privilege to perform the operation.
.sp
.LP
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
