No. positive increments increase the nice value (decrease the priority) and negative increments cause a lower nice value (higher priority). The bug was introduced when the spec changed back from using *system scheduling priorities* to *nice value* between SUSv2 and SUSv3 Compare: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcu/renice.html https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/renice.html Desired Action: Trim those 2 lines to only: "Negative increment values may require appropriate privileges." (no need to say that positive increments increase). ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2019-09-14 07:59 stephane New Issue 2019-09-14 07:59 stephane Name => Stephane Chazelas 2019-09-14 07:59 stephane Section => renice utility 2019-09-14 07:59 stephane Page Number => 3194 (in the 2018 edition) 2019-09-14 07:59 stephane Line Number => 107129, 107130 ======================================================================
