61*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
62*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<p>
63*5e3eaea3SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>thread_info</strong> function returns an information structure
64*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionsof type <var>flavor</var>.
65*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<h3>NOTES</h3>
66*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<p>
67*5e3eaea3SApple OSS DistributionsAt any given time, a thread has only one scheduling policy in
68*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionseffect for it.  Thus,
69*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionsonly one of the scheduling information structures will be valid,
70*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionsthat so indicated
71*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributionsby the policy value returned by <strong>THREAD_BASIC_INFO</strong>.
72*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
73*5e3eaea3SApple OSS Distributions<p>
74*5e3eaea3SApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
