PTHREAD_YIELD(3) BSD Programmer's Manual PTHREAD_YIELD(3)
pthread_yield - yield control of the current thread
#include <pthread.h> void pthread_yield(void);
The pthread_yield() function resets the accumulated time slice of the current thread and then enters the thread scheduler, which resumes execu- tion of the next thread ready to run. If no other thread is ready to run, control returns to the current thread.
