Prenice()                                                            GEMDOS

Syntax

LONG Prenice( pid, delta )
WORD pid, delta;

Function      Prenice() adjusts the process priority of the specified
              process.

Opcode        295 (0x127)

Availability  Available when a 'MiNT' cookie with a version of at least
              0.90 exists.

Parameters    The process priority for the process with process ID pid is
              adjusted by signed value delta. Positive values for delta
              decrease process priority while negative values increase it.

Binding       move.w   delta,-(sp)
              move.w   pid,-(sp)
              move.w   #$127,-(sp)
              trap     #1
              addq.l   #6

Return Value  Prenice() returns a 32-bit negative GEMDOS error code if
              unsuccessful. Otherwise, the lower 16-bit signed value can
              be interpreted as the previous process priority code.

Comments      The exact effect adjusting process priorites will have is
              difficult to determine.
