+ * coreutils.texi (nice invocation): Document the "nice value", and
+ how it affects the scheduling priority. (The old documentation
+ implied that the nice value equaled the scheduling priority, which
+ isn't accurate.) Document that the range of nice values might
+ exceed -20..19. Specify what happens when you give a nice value
+ that is out of range, or when you don't have permissions to lower
+ the nice value. Bash doesn't have a builtin 'nice', so don't say
+ "most shells" have one.
