NAME
pthread_yield - yield the processor
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_yield(void);
Compile and link with -pthread.
DESCRIPTION
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
On success,
pthread_yield()
returns 0;
on error, it returns an error number.
ERRORS
On Linux, this call always succeeds
(but portable and future-proof applications should nevertheless
handle a possible error return).
