pthread_yield(
void);
Note
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
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see

CONFORMING TO
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).
