The priority of the child process can be set by storing one of the below symbols in the priority slot of a process tuple:
• +lowest-priority+
• +low-priority+
• +normal-priority+
• +high-priority+
• +highest-priority+

The default value is f, which denotes that the child process should inherit the current process priority.
