Description

proc_nice(int $priority): bool

proc_nice() changes the priority of the current process by the amount specified in priority. A positive priority will lower the priority of the current process, whereas a negative priority will raise the priority.

proc_nice() is not related to proc_open() and its associated functions in any way.

Parameters

priority

The new priority value, the value of this may differ on platforms.

On Unix, a low value, such as -20 means high priority whereas positive values have a lower priority.

For Windows the priority parameter has the following meaning:

Priority class Possible values
High priority priority < -9
Above normal priority priority < -4
Normal priority priority < 5 & priority > -5
Below normal priority priority > 5
Idle priority priority > 9

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure. If an error occurs, like the user lacks permission to change the priority, an error of level E_WARNING is also generated.

Changelog

Version Description
7.2.0 This function is now available on Windows.

Examples

Example #1 Using proc_nice() to set the process priority to high

// Highest priority
proc_nice(-20);
?>
