The maximum <var>priority</var> of a 31*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsprocessor set is used only when creating new threads. A new thread's 32*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsmaximum <var>priority</var> is set to that of its assigned processor 33*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsset. When assigned to a processor set, a thread's maximum 34*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<var>priority</var> is reduced, if necessary, to that of its new 35*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsprocessor set; its current <var>priority</var> is also reduced, as 36*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsneeded. Changing the maximum <var>priority</var> of a processor set 37*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsdoes not affect the <var>priority</var> of the currently assigned 38*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsthreads unless <var>change_threads</var> is TRUE. If this 39*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<var>priority</var> change violates the maximum <var>priority</var> of 40*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionssome threads, their maximum priorities will be reduced to match. 41*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3> 42*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<p> 43*1031c584SApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply. 44*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RELATED INFORMATION</h3> 45*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<p> 46*1031c584SApple OSS DistributionsFunctions: 47*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<a href="thread_assign.html">thread_assign</a>. 48
