man nice ==>

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND with an adjusted niceness, which affects process schedul-
ing. With no COMMAND, print the current niceness. Nicenesses range
from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable).

The name comes from the wish to have processes behaving nicely ...

Regards.
