MT-Safe

DESCRIPTION

thr_yield() causes the current thread to yield its execution in favor of another thread with the same or greater priority. 

RETURN VALUES

thr_yield() returns nothing and does not set errno. 

SEE ALSO

sched_yield(3R), thr_setprio(3T)

NOTES

Although there is no POSIX "pthreads" counterpart to thr_yield(), the POSIX real-time function, sched_yield(3R) does correspond to thr_yield(); thereby affording the POSIX portability to this functionality.
