     Sets the scheduling priority of the thread specified by tid. It requires elevated
     privilege to set specific priorities on some platforms.
-    The priority can be set to the following constants. UV_THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, 
-    UV_THREAD_PRIORITY_ABOVE_NORMAL, UV_THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL, 
-    UV_THREAD_PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL, UV_THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST.

     Retrieves the scheduling priority of the thread specified by tid. The value in the
     output parameter priority is platform dependent.
-    For Linux, when schedule policy is SCHED_OTHER (default), priority is 0.
