16 pthread_yield() causes the calling thread to relinquish the CPU. The
17 thread is placed at the end of the run queue for its static priority
18 and another thread is scheduled to run. For further details, see
19 sched_yield(2)

22 On success, pthread_yield() returns 0; on error, it returns an error
23 number.
24
26 On Linux, this call always succeeds (but portable and future-proof
27 applications should nevertheless handle a possible error return).
28
30 This call is non-standard, but present on several other systems. Use
31 the standardized sched_yield(2) instead.
32
34 On Linux, this function is implemented as a call to sched_yield(2).
