chrt: Display the min/max priority values that can be used with `chrt`.

chrt

$ chrt --max

try on your machine

The command "chrt --max" is used to display the highest possible scheduling priority that can be set for a process in Linux.

In Linux, each process is assigned a priority value that determines how much CPU time it will receive. The higher the priority value, the more CPU time the process will be allocated, and thus it will have a higher chance of being executed when multiple processes are competing for resources.

The "chrt" command is a tool in Linux that is used to manipulate the scheduling attributes of a given task (process). The "--max" option is used with the "chrt" command to show the maximum priority value that can be set for a process.

By running the "chrt --max" command, you will see the maximum possible priority value available for task scheduling in your Linux system. This value can then be used in combination with other "chrt" options to set the desired priority for a specific process.
