#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <pthread.h> [[deprecated]] int pthread_yield(void);
LIBRARY
POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)
DESCRIPTION
Note: This function is deprecated; see below.
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

VERSIONS
On Linux, this function is implemented as a call to
sched_yield(2).
STANDARDS
None.
HISTORY
Deprecated since glibc 2.34. Use the standardized
sched_yield(2) instead.
NOTES
pthread_yield() is intended for use with real-time
scheduling policies (i.e., SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR). Use of
pthread_yield() with nondeterministic scheduling policies such as
SCHED_OTHER is unspecified and very likely means your application
design is broken.
