NAME¶
pthread_yield - yield the processor
SYNOPSIS¶
#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).
This call is nonstandard, but present on several other systems. Use the
standardized
sched_yield(2) instead.
NOTES¶
On Linux, this function is implemented as a call to
sched_yield(2).
