This routine obtains both the current scheduling policy and associated scheduling parameters of the thread specified by the thread argument. The priority value returned in the param structure is the value specified either in the attr argument passed to pthread_create() or by the most recent call to pthread_setschedparam() that affects the target thread. This routine differs from pthread_attr_getschedpolicy() and pthread_attr_getschedparam(), in that those routines get the scheduling policy and parameter attributes that are used to establish the priority and scheduling policy of a new thread when it is created. This routine, however, obtains the scheduling policy and parameters of an existing thread.
