function fpNice(N:cint):cint;
{
  Set process priority. A positive N means a lower priority.
  A negative N decreases priority.

Doesn't exist in BSD. Linux emu uses setpriority in a construct as below:
}

var prio : cint;

begin
  fpseterrno(0);
  prio:=fpgetpriority(PRIO_PROCESS,0);
  if (prio=-1) and (fpgeterrno<>0) then
      exit(-1);
  fpNice:=fpSetPriority(Prio_Process,0,prio+N);
end;

Function fpGetPriority(Which,Who:cint):cint;
{
  Get Priority of process, process group, or user.
   Which : selects what kind of priority is used.
           can be one of the following predefined Constants :
              Prio_User.
              Prio_PGrp.
              Prio_Process.
   Who : depending on which, this is , respectively :
              Uid
              Pid
              Process Group id
   Errors are reported in linuxerror _only_. (priority can be negative)
}

   Who : depending on value of which, this is, respectively :
              Uid
              Pid
              Process Group id
   what : A number between -20 and 20. -20 is most favorable, 20 least.
          0 is the default.
