As seen in "man 2 nice":
NAME
nice - change process priority
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int nice(int inc);
DESCRIPTION
nice adds inc to the nice value for the calling pid. (A
large nice value means a low priority.) Only the super
user may specify a negative increment, or priority
increase.
(hoping that cut/pasted ok from man)
