The SDL thread priority.
Defined in SDL_thread.h
typedef enum SDL_ThreadPriority {
SDL_THREAD_PRIORITY_LOW,
SDL_THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL,
SDL_THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGH,
SDL_THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL } SDL_ThreadPriority;
SDL will make system changes as necessary in order to apply the thread priority. Code which attempts to control thread state related to priority should be aware that calling SDL_SetThreadPriority may alter such state. SDL_HINT_THREAD_PRIORITY_POLICY can be used to control aspects of this behavior.
On many systems you require special privileges to set high or time critical priority.
