NAME
       nice - run a program with modified scheduling priority

SYNOPSIS
       nice [OPTION] [COMMAND [ARG]...]

DESCRIPTION
       Run COMMAND with an adjusted niceness, which affects process
       scheduling.  With no COMMAND, print the current niceness.  Niceness
       values range from -20 (most favorable to the process) to 19 (least
       favorable to the process).

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
       too.

       -n, --adjustment=N
              add integer N to the niceness (default 10)

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

       Your shell may have its own version of nice, which usually supersedes
       the version described here.  Please refer to your shell's documentation
       for details about the options it supports.

   Exit status:
       125    if the nice command itself fails

       126    if COMMAND is found but cannot be invoked

       127    if COMMAND cannot be found

       -      the exit status of COMMAND otherwise
