  Well, I'm looking at the nice(2) man page for our SysV system, and I don't
see anything "maze"-like or really difficult to understand.  You call
nice(incr) where incr is a positive number to make your process nicer, or a
negative number to make your process less nice.

  If this doesn't answer your question, could you be a bit more specific about
exactly what trouble you're asking?
