NAME

pthread_yield — yield control of the current thread

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>

void
pthread_yield(void);

DESCRIPTION

The pthread_yield() function resets the accumulated time slice of the current thread and then enters the thread scheduler, which resumes execution of the next thread ready to run. If no other thread is ready to run, control returns to the current thread.

SEE ALSO

pthreads(3)

STANDARDS

pthread_yield() is a non-portable (but quite common) extension to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”).
