+
+	  Run a command line at an increased or decreased scheduling priority.
+
+	  Higher numbers make a program yield more CPU time, from 20 (lowest
+	  priority) to -19 (highest).  By default processes inherit their parent's
+	  niceness (usually 0).  By default this command adds 10 to the parent's
+	  priority.  Only root can set a negative niceness level.
