-@chapter Scheduler Manager
-
-@section Introduction
-
-The scheduler manager ...
-
-The directives provided by the scheduler manager are:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item @code{sched_get_priority_min} -
-@item @code{sched_get_priority_max} -
-@item @code{sched_rr_get_interval} -
-@item @code{sched_yield} -
-@end itemize
-
-@section Background
-
-@subsection Priority
-
-In the RTEMS implementation of the POSIX API, the priorities range from
-the low priority of sched_get_priority_min() to the highest priority of
-sched_get_priority_max(). Numerically higher values represent higher
-priorities.
-
-@subsection Scheduling Policies
-
-The following scheduling policies are available:
-
-@table @b
-@item SCHED_FIFO
-Priority-based, preemptive scheduling with no timeslicing. This is equivalent
-to what is called "manual round-robin" scheduling.
-
-@item SCHED_RR
-Priority-based, preemptive scheduling with timeslicing. Time quantums are
-maintained on a per-thread basis and are not reset at each context switch.
-Thus, a thread which is preempted and subsequently resumes execution will
-attempt to complete the unused portion of its time quantum.
-
-@item SCHED_OTHER
-Priority-based, preemptive scheduling with timeslicing. Time quantums are
-maintained on a per-thread basis and are reset at each context switch.
-
-@item SCHED_SPORADIC
-Priority-based, preemptive scheduling utilizing three additional parameters:
-budget, replenishment period, and low priority. Under this policy, the
-thread is allowed to execute for "budget" amount of time before its priority
-is lowered to "low priority". At the end of each replenishment period,
-the thread resumes its initial priority and has its budget replenished.

-This section details the scheduler manager's directives.
-A subsection is dedicated to each of this manager's directives
-and describes the calling sequence, related constants, usage,
-and status codes.
