- Run a command with the given scheduling class and priority:
`ionice -c {{scheduling_class}} -n {{priority}} {{command}}`
- Set I/O scheduling [c]lass of a running process with a specific [p]id, [P]gid or [u]id:
`ionice -c {{scheduling_class}} -{{p|P|u}} {{id}}`
- Run a command with custom I/O scheduling [c]lass and priority:
`ionice -c {{scheduling_class}} -n {{priority}} {{command}}`
- Ignore failure to set the requested priority:
`ionice -t -n {{priority}} -p {{pid}}`
- Run the command even in case it was not possible to set the desired priority (this can happen due to insufficient privileges or an old kernel version):
`ionice -t -n {{priority}} -p {{pid}}`
- Print the I/O scheduling class and priority of a running process:
`ionice -p {{pid}}`
