There are a few places that I want to cause a thread to give up its quantum. This is cross-platform so in Windows I am using Sleep, in linux I want to use usleep but cannot find any resources to confirm that this will switch executing threads or will just busy-wait. All I seem to get from the man page is that it will wait for at least the given time, and perhaps more.

Might pthread_yield be suitable?
