| 15 | This manual page documents the GNU version of n\bni\bic\bce\be. If no | |
| 16 | arguments are given, n\bni\bic\bce\be prints the current sheduling | |
| 17 | priority, which it inherited. Otherwise, n\bni\bic\bce\be runs the | |
| 18 | given _\bc_\bo_\bm_\bm_\ba_\bn_\bd with its scheduling priority adjusted. If | |
| 19 | no _\ba_\bd_\bj_\bu_\bs_\bt_\bm_\be_\bn_\bt is given, the priority of the command is | |
| 20 | incremented by 10. The superuser can specify a negative | |
| 21 | adjustment. The priority can be adjusted by n\bni\bic\bce\be over the | |
| 22 | range of -20 (the highest priority) to 19 (the lowest). | |

| 25 | -_\bn _\ba_\bd_\bj_\bu_\bs_\bt_\bm_\be_\bn_\bt, -_\ba_\bd_\bj_\bu_\bs_\bt_\bm_\be_\bn_\bt, --_\ba_\bd_\bj_\bu_\bs_\bt_\bm_\be_\bn_\bt=_\ba_\bd_\bj_\bu_\bs_\bt_\bm_\be_\bn_\bt | |
| 26 | Add _\ba_\bd_\bj_\bu_\bs_\bt_\bm_\be_\bn_\bt instead of 10 to the command's pri- | |
| 27 | ority. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well | |
| 30 | as `--', for compatibility with previous releases. Even- | |
| 31 | tually support for `+' will be removed, because it is | |
| 32 | incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard. | |
