PR_SetThreadPriority
====================
Sets the priority of a specified thread.
Syntax
------
.. code::
#include <prthread.h>
void PR_SetThreadPriority(
PRThread *thread,
PRThreadPriority priority);
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
:ref:`PR_SetThreadPriority` has the following parameters:
``thread``
A valid identifier for the thread whose priority you want to set.
``priority``
The priority you want to set.
Description
-----------
Modifying the priority of a thread other than the calling thread is
risky. It is difficult to ensure that the state of the target thread
permits a priority adjustment without ill effects. It is preferable for
a thread to specify itself in the thread parameter when it calls
:ref:`PR_SetThreadPriority`.
