DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND with an adjusted niceness, which affects process
scheduling. With no COMMAND, print the current niceness. Nicenesses
range from -20
(most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable).
Favorable to what? It really does not explain, since it can be
interpreted in opposite ways. Please use words like higher and lower
priority.
