Finish _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING. Needs P1003_1B and
_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options to work. Changes: Change all "posix4" to "p1003_1b". Misnamed files are left as "posix4" until I'm told if I can simply delete them and add new ones; Add _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls for FreeBSD and Linux; Add man pages for _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls; Add options to LINT; Minor fixes to P1003_1B code during testing.

+.Dt SCHED_SETSCHEDULER 2
+.Os BSD 4
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sched_setscheduler ,
+.Nm sched_getscheduler
+.Nd set/get scheduling policy and scheduler parameters
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sched.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn sched_setscheduler "pid_t pid" "int policy" "const struct sched_param *param"
+.Ft int
+.Fn sched_getscheduler "pid_t pid"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn sched_setscheduler
+function sets the scheduling policy and scheduling parameters
+of the process specified by
+.Fa pid
+to
+.Fa policy
+and the parameters specified in the
+.Fa sched_param
+structure pointed to by
+.Fa param ,
+respectively.
+The value of the
+.Fa sched_priority
+member in the
+.Fa param
+structure must be any integer within the inclusive priority range for
+the scheduling policy specified by
+.Fa policy .
+.Pp
+In this implementation, if the value of
+.Fa pid
+is negative the function will fail.
+.Pp
+If a process specified by
+.Fa pid
+exists and if the calling process has permission, the scheduling
+policy and scheduling parameters will be set for the process
+whose process ID is equal to
+.Fa pid .
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa pid
+is zero, the scheduling policy and scheduling
+parameters are set for the calling process.
+.Pp
+In this implementation, the policy of when a process can affect
+the scheduling parameters of another process is specified in
+.Xr p1003_1b
+as a write-style operation.
+.Pp
+The scheduling policies are in
+.Fa <sched.h> :
+.Bl -tag -width [SCHED_OTHER]
+.It Bq Er SCHED_FIFO
+First-in-first-out fixed priority scheduling with no round robin scheduling;
+.It Bq Er SCHED_OTHER
+The standard time sharing scheduler;
+.It Bq Er SCHED_RR
+Round-robin scheduling across same priority processes.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa sched_param
+structure is defined in
+.Fa <sched.h> :
+
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct sched_param {
+ int sched_priority; /* scheduling priority */
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn sched_getscheduler
+function returns the scheduling policy of the process specified
+by
+.Fa pid .
+.Pp
+If a process specified by
+.Fa pid
+exists and if the calling process has permission,
+the scheduling parameters for the process whose process ID is equal to
+.Fa pid
+are returned.
+.Pp
+In this implementation, the policy of when a process can obtain the
+scheduling parameters of another process are detailed in
+.Xr p1003_1b
+as a read-style operation.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa pid
+is zero, the scheduling parameters for the calling process will be
+returned. In this implementation, the
+.Fa sched_getscheduler
+function will fail if
+.Fa pid
+is negative.
+.Sh RETURN
+The function will return zero if it completes successfully, or it
+will return a value of -1 and set
+.Va errno
+to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+On failure
+.Va errno
+will be set to the corresponding value:
+.Bl -tag -width [EFAULT]
+.It Bq Er ENOSYS
+The system is not configured to support this functionality.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The requesting process doesn not have permission as detailed in
+.Xr p1003_1b .
+.It Bq Er ESRCH
+No process can be found corresponding to that specified by
+.Fa pid .
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The value of the
+.Fa policy
+parameter is invalid, or one or more of the parameters contained in
+.Fa param
+is outside the valid range for the specified scheduling policy.
