@]

As of this writing, a process can be in one of three scheduling classes:

'''Idle'''

A program running with idle I/O priority will only get disk time when no other program has asked
for disk I/O for a defined grace period. The impact of an idle I/O process on normal system
activity should be zero. This scheduling class does not take a priority argument.
Presently, this scheduling class is per‐mitted for an ordinary user (since kernel 2.6.25)
