Pnice()                                                              GEMDOS

Syntax

WORD Pnice( delta )
WORD delta;

Function      Pnice() alters the process priority of the calling process.

Opcode        266 (0x10A)

Availability  This function is available under all MiNT versions
              integrated with MultiTOS.

Parameters    delta is a signed number which is added to the current
              process priority value. Positive values decrease process
              priority while negative values increase it.

Binding       move.w   delta,-(sp)
              move.w   #$10A,-(sp)
              trap     #1
              addq.l   #4,sp

Return Value  Pnice() returns the prior process priority.

Comments      The process priority value has no fixed formula so it is
              hard to be able to predict the results of this call with any
              accuracy. This call is the same as Prenice( Pgetpid(), delta
              ).
