I suggest you learn to use the tools...
$ apropos priority
getpriority (2) - get/set program scheduling priority
glPrioritizeTextures (3x) - set texture residence priority
nice (1) - run a program with modified scheduling priority
nice (2) - change process priority
renice (8) - alter priority of running processes
sched_get_priority_max (2) - get static priority range
sched_get_priority_min [sched_get_priority_max] (2) - get static
priority range
setlogmask (3) - set log priority mask
setpriority [getpriority] (2) - get/set program scheduling priority
$ man renice
IOW, RTFM
