% chrt -i 1 sh
chrt: failed to set pid 0's policy: Invalid argument
Since chrt's arguments are confusing enough already (such as the
necessary placement of "-p", if used, first and the correspoding pid
last), a misleading error message is really the last thing it needs.
"pid 0" makes it appear that "-p" was in fact active (for whatever
reason) and a pid of 0 (again for whatever reason, maybe default)
was the problem, since of course pid 0 is really invalid;
distracting from the fact that the "1" argument to "-i" is in fact
invalid.
Ideally, the message should say what's actually invalid ("priority
out of range" or such). But anyway, including another invalid (and
inapplicable) thing in the message is a bad idea.
