<p>The <strong>sched_yield</strong>() function yields the processor from the
|
||
|
|
currently executing thread to another ready-to-run, active thread of equal or
|
||
|
|
higher priority.</p>
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
<p>If no threads of equal or higher priority are active and ready to run,
|

|
|
<strong>sched_yield</strong>() returns immediately, and the calling thread
|
||
|
|
continues to run until its time has expired.</p>
