Manpages SCHED_YIELDSection: Linux Programmer's Manual (2)Updated: 1996-04-10 Index Return to Main Contents NAMEsched_yield - yield the processorSYNOPSIS#include <sched.h>DESCRIPTIONA process can relinquish the processor voluntarily without blocking by calling sched_yield. The process will then be moved to the end of the queue for its static priority and a new process gets to run.Note: If the current process is the only process in the highest priority list at that time, this process will continue to run after a call to sched_yield. POSIX systems on which sched_yield is available define _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING in <unistd.h>. RETURN VALUEOn success, sched_yield returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.CONFORMING TOPOSIX.1b (formerly POSIX.4)SEE ALSOsched_setscheduler(2) for a description of Linux scheduling.
