💅 sys_sched_yield(9)

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's literally about sys_sched_yield — the syscall that's like "mm k I'm done hogging the CPU, someone else can go" 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

sys_sched_yield — yield the current processor to other threads. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

long sys_sched_yield (void );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• void — no arguments. absolutely zero. she takes nothing and gives everything 😌

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

This function yields the current CPU to other tasks. it's giving "i'm gonna go stand over here so y'all can have the floor" energy 💅

If there are no other threads running on this CPU then this function will return. like, if nobody else wants a turn, she just comes right back. no drama, no fuss ✨

🌈 RETURN 🌈

0.

that's it. just 0. slay, consistent queen 👑
