Hmmm, POSIX talks about priorities in the range of
   min .. max,
   where
     min = sched_get_priority_min(alg)
     max = sched_get_priority_max(alg)
     max - min >= 32, if alg == SCHED_FIFO or alg == SCHED_RR
     and alg being the the scheduling algorithm (like SCHED_FIFO, ...)

Under Linux (according to 'man sched_get_priority_min') the follwoing
ranges apply:
     SCHED_FIFO  : min = 1, max = 99
     SCHED_RR    : min = 1, max = 99
     SCHED_OTHER : min = 0, max = 0


jm5c,
