NAMEparport_yield − relinquish a parallel port temporarily

---

SYNOPSISint parport_yield(struct pardevice * dev);

---

ARGUMENTSdev a device on the parallel port

---

DESCRIPTIONThis function relinquishes the port if it would be helpful to other drivers to do so​. Afterwards it tries to reclaim the port using parport_claim, and the return value is the same as for parport_claim​. If it fails, the port is left unclaimed and it is the driver´s responsibility to reclaim the port​. The parport_yield and parport_yield_blocking functions are for marking points in the driver at which other drivers may claim the port and use their devices​. Yielding the port is similar to releasing it and reclaiming it, but is more efficient because no action is taken if there are no other devices needing the port​. In fact, nothing is done even if there are other devices waiting but the current device is still within its ‟timeslice”​. The default timeslice is half a second, but it can be adjusted via the /proc interface​.
