Description-en: Realtime Policy and Watchdog Daemon
RealtimeKit is a D-Bus system service that changes the
scheduling policy of user processes/threads to SCHED_RR
(i.e. realtime scheduling mode) on request. It is intended to
be used as a secure mechanism to allow real-time scheduling to
be used by normal user processes.
