Name

sched_yield - yield processor

Synopsis

cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lposix4 [ library ... ]

#include <sched.h>

int sched_yield(void);

MT-Level

MT-Safe

Description

sched_yield() forces the running process to relinquish the processor until the process again becomes the head of its process list.

Return Values

If successful, sched_yield() returns 0, otherwise, it returns -1, and sets errno to indicate the error condition.

Errors

ENOSYS
sched_yield() is not supported by this implementation.

Bugs

In Solaris 2.5, these functions always return -1 and set errno to ENOSYS, because this release does not support the Priority Scheduling option. It is our intention to provide support for these interfaces in future releases.
