Normally you'd use it to run the program. But, as I said at least twice,
it's Linux specific.

Does it warn you that you need privileges (probably root) to switch to a
higher scheduler level? Normally realtime and other high priority
schedulers require elevated privileges, whereas lower priority schedulers
such as SCHED_IDLE don't.

I should note that I see no manpage for sched_setscheduler on 10.9.5, nor
do I find it in any of the dylibs in /usr/lib.
