DESCRIPTION

       The  sched_yield()  system  call  forces  the  running process to relinquish the processor until it again
       becomes the head of its process list.  It takes no arguments.

RETURN VALUES

       The sched_yield() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and  the
       global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       On failure errno will be set to the corresponding value:

       [ENOSYS]           The system is not configured to support this functionality.

STANDARDS

       The sched_yield() system call conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1b-1993 (“POSIX.1”).
