    This method allows to raise a thread's priority into the range
    of "realtime" thread priorities. The methods can control each thread
    independently. This means that it it not necessary to raise the process to the
    "realtime" priority class, which would affect all thread of the process.

    If the process is not in the realtime priority class and if the process has the
    SE_INC_BASE_PRIORITY_NAME privilege, values from 15 to 31 can be set. If the
    privilege is not granted, only 15 can be set.

    If the process is in the realtime priority class,
    values from 16 to 31 can be set. No special permissions are required.

    To grant the privilege, use the Windows policy editor to enable the
    SE_INC_BASE_PRIORITY_NAME right (User Rights Assignment / Increase scheduling policy).
    Typically, all members of the Administrators group have the privilege enabled.

    Caution: Do not change the process priority class after setting the realtime thread priority.

    \if linux
    Values greater than 0 set the thread's static priority and imply realtime scheduling
    (SCHED_RR scheduling policy). When setting the value 0, non-realtime scheduling is used.
    The thread's dynamic priority depends on the process' dynamic priority (nice scheduling).

    Setting realtime priorities requires certain permissions. The pylon install guide described
    how to grant an application the permissions to set realtime thread priorities.

    \endif

    \if osx
    Values greater than 0 set the thread's static priority and imply realtime scheduling
    (THREAD_TIME_CONSTRAINT_POLICY scheduling policy). When setting the value 0, non-realtime
    scheduling is used and the thread's static priority is set to the highest possible depends
    on the process dynamic priority (nice scheduling).

    Typically a thread that receives image data should be set to realtime thread priorities
    to reduce jitter and delays. Be aware that such a realtime thread shouldn't perform time
    consuming tasks (like image processing). A realtime thread that is continuously working can
    cause the whole operating system to be blocked!
