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).
ATTRIBUTES¶
