These are the Linux scheduler utilities - schedutils for short. These programs take advantage of the scheduler family of syscalls that Linux implements across various kernels. These system calls implement interfaces for scheduler-related parameters such as CPU affinity and real-time attributes. The standard UNIX utilities do not provide support for these interfaces -- thus this package. . The programs that are included in this package are taskset, chrt and ionice. Together with nice and renice (not included), they allow full control of process scheduling parameters.
