pthread_yield – yield control of the current thread

LIBRARY SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION SEE ALSO STANDARDS

POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)

#include <pthread.h>

void
pthread_yield(void);

The pthread_yield() forces the running thread to relinquish the processor until it again becomes the head of its thread list.

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