 1 | # Priority
 2 | C++ command line utility to query or set CPU, memory and I/O priority (Windows)
 3 | 
 4 | <b>How To Compile</b>
 5 | - Start Visual Studio command prompt
 6 | - Change to directory with Priority.cpp
 7 | - compile with
 8 |     cl Priority.cpp  
 9 | 
10 | <b>Usage</b>
11 | 
12 | Priority [parameter] [PID|program]
13 | 
14 | Shows (when called without parameters) or changes the CPU, memory and I/O priority and CPU affinity of a running process (memory priority can maximally be set  to normal, I/O priority to high at most).<br />
15 | It is enough to supply a partly process name.<br />
16 | Only the first found process is processed (see parameter /INSTANCE).<br />
17 | If no process ID and no program name is supplied, the calling process is processed.<br />
18 | 
19 | Parameters:<br />
20 | /INSTANCE:n - n. found process with name part is processed (default: 1.).<br />
21 | /INSTANCE:ALL - all found processes with name part are processed.<br />
22 | /LOW /BELOWNORMAL /NORMAL /ABOVENORMAL /HIGH /REALTIME - process gets respective priority.<br />
23 | /ONLYCPU - only CPU priority is set.<br />
24 | /CPUMASK:n - CPU affinity. Sum of 1=CPU0, 2=CPU1, 4=CPU2, 8=CPU3,... .<br />
25 | 
26 | <b>Remarks</b>
27 | 
28 | Since Priority.exe cannot retrieve the process names of 64 bit executables in an WOW64 environment, compile Priority.exe as a 64 bit executable for a 64 bit OS and as a 32 bit executable for a 32 bit OS.
