How do I set the priority of a process?
The “setprio()” function is not recommended for new development. What
replaces it?

The docs now suggest using sched_setparam() or pthread_setschedparam().

Plus, at some point you’re setting thread priorities, not process priorities.
The thread that starts at main() sorta-kinda looks like the “process” if you
want to think of it that way…
So, you’d also want to look into pthread_attr_t structure and friends for
pthread_create().
