PTHREAD_YIELD(3P)                    SysV                    PTHREAD_YIELD(3P)



NAME
     pthread_yield - Allows the scheduler to run another thread instead of the
     current one

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread.h>

     void pthread_yield(void);

DESCRIPTION
     The pthread_yield function allows the scheduler to determine if another
     thread could be run in preference to the calling thread.  If no other
     thread is suitable, the scheduler continues to run the calling thread.

NOTES
     This interface is based on draft 4 of the IEEE P1003.4a standard, and
     will be changed to conform to the final version.
