|
documents the GNU version of

|
.BR nice .

|
If no arguments are given,

|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.B nice
|
|
runs the given
|
|
.I command
|
|
with its scheduling priority adjusted.
|
|
If no
|
|
.I adjustment
|
|
is given, the priority of the command is incremented by 10. The
|
|
superuser can specify a negative adjustment. The priority can be
|
|
adjusted by
|
|
.B nice
|
|
over the range of -20 (the highest priority) to 19 (the lowest).
|
|
.SS OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-n adjustment, \-adjustment, \-\-adjustment=adjustment"
|

|
|

|
.PP
|
|
The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as `\-\-',
|
|
for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually support for `+'
|
|
will be removed, because it is incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard.
