PTHREAD_YIELD(3) Linux Programmer's Manual PTHREAD_YIELD(3)
pthread_yield - yield the processor
SYNOPSIS top
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_yield(void);
Compile and link with -pthread.
DESCRIPTION top
pthread_yield() causes the calling thread to relinquish the CPU. The thread
is placed at the end of the run queue for its static priority and another
thread is scheduled to run. For further details, see sched_yield(2)
RETURN VALUE top
On success, pthread_yield() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number.
ERRORS top
On Linux, this call always succeeds (but portable and future-proof
applications should nevertheless handle a possible error return).
CONFORMING TO top
This call is nonstandard, but present on several other systems. Use the
standardized sched_yield(2) instead.
On Linux, this function is implemented as a call to sched_yield(2).
