SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <apar_types.h> #include <sys/class.h>

       class_create(
               class_apar_handle_t handle,
               char *class_name,
               struct resource_limits *limits );

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Scheduling Class Library (libclass.a)

       This library is not available as a shared library.

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  partition  descriptor  returned by class_open().  The
       name of the  class  to  change.   The  input  is  the  new
       resource limits, the output is the resources available.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       Create  a  new class. The created class will be empty. Use
       class_add() to populate the class. If the  requested  percentage
  causes  the  total  percentage  of all classes to
       exceed 100%, the call will fail and avail will contain the
       remaining percentage available.

       Specify CLASS_RESOURCE_SCHED_DISABLED for the target limit
       of any resource that is not needed.

       Note that the calling process must have root access privileges.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  operation  completed successfully.  An invalid partition
 handle was specified.  The class_name is not an ASCII
       string.   The  class_name  already  exists.   No space was
       available in class_name.  The requested percentage was not
       in  the range 0 - 100 or was not CLASS_RESOURCE_SCHED_DISABLED
  or  CLASS_RESOURCE_SCHED_DISABLED.   The  requested
       percentage  was not available. The struct resource_percent
       <xxx-available> (where xxx is  an  integer  in  the  range
       0-100  representing  percentage)  will contain the maximum
       available percentage.
