Libdl provides what is needed to use the SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling





10

policy and all its features from an userspace program.





11

This is needed since the new system calls, flags, etc. that make





12

it possible are not (yet? :-P) included in the standard library.

PREREQUISITES

-------------





17






18

The new interface is only implemented by kernels patched to support





19

the SCHED_DEADLINE schedulign policy.

Instructions on how to download and compile such a kernel are available





22

on the development Website of the project:

USAGE





28

-----





29






30

To compile the library as a static or shared object:





31






32

$> make static or $> make shared or just $> make





33






34

To install in the default path (/usr/local/lib):





35






36

#> make install





37






38

To customize the install path change DESTPREFIX and DESTDIR





39

in the Makefile.





40






41

To statically include the files in your project:





42

 - copy dl_syscalls.h and dl_syscalls.c in your header and





43

   source folder;





44

 - edit your Makefile so that targets where the new interface





45

   is used depends on dl_syscall.c;





46

 - compile and install it as usual.
