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)
ERRORS
On Linux, this call always succeeds (but portable and future-proof applications should nevertheless handle a possible error return).
CONFORMING TO
This call is nonstandard, but present on several other systems. Use the standardized sched_yield(2) instead.
