-.TH proc_pid_timerslack_ns 5 (date) "Linux man-pages (unreleased)"
-.SH NAME
-/proc/pid/timerslack_ns \- timer slack in nanoseconds
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.TP
-.IR /proc/ pid /timerslack_ns " (since Linux 4.6)"
-.\" commit da8b44d5a9f8bf26da637b7336508ca534d6b319
-.\" commit 5de23d435e88996b1efe0e2cebe242074ce67c9e
-This file exposes the process's "current" timer slack value,
-expressed in nanoseconds.
-The file is writable,
-allowing the process's timer slack value to be changed.
-Writing 0 to this file resets the "current" timer slack to the
-"default" timer slack value.
-For further details, see the discussion of
-.B PR_SET_TIMERSLACK
-in
-.BR prctl (2).
-.IP
-Initially,
-permission to access this file was governed by a ptrace access mode
-.B PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS
-check (see
-.BR ptrace (2)).
-However, this was subsequently deemed too strict a requirement
-(and had the side effect that requiring a process to have the
-.B CAP_SYS_PTRACE
-capability would also allow it to view and change any process's memory).
-Therefore, since Linux 4.9,
-.\" commit 7abbaf94049914f074306d960b0f968ffe52e59f
-only the (weaker)
-.B CAP_SYS_NICE
-capability is required to access this file.
