+The function nice() increases or decreases the priority value by

+It internally uses getpriority and setpriority to set the priority 
+to new value.
+It returns the new value of the priority, which shall be in the range 
+of -15 to 19. -1 is a legitimate return value, so the user has to check 
+the errno to be sure of failure.
