pthread_yield(3T)					     pthread_yield(3T)

NAME
       pthread_yield() - notify the scheduler that the current thread is will‐
       ing to relinquish the use of its processor

SYNOPSIS
PARAMETERS
       None.

DESCRIPTION
       The function notifies the scheduler that the current thread is  willing
       to  relinquish  the use of its processor to other threads of equivalent
       or higher priority.  If the run queue is empty or if no	other  threads
       of  equivalent or greater scheduling priority are ready to execute when
       the function is called, then the calling thread is immediately resched‐
       uled.

       If the calling thread has the system contention scope then calling this
       function notifies the kernel scheduler.

       If the calling thread has the process  contention  scope	 then  calling
       this function notifies the user space scheduler.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, returns zero.

ERRORS
       None.
