int rtapi_task_new(void (*_taskcode_)(void*), void *_arg_, int _prio_,
unsigned long _stacksize_, int _uses_fp_);
int rtapi_task_delete(int _task_id_);- taskcode
-
A pointer to the function to be called when the task is started
- arg
-
An argument to be passed to the taskcode function when the task is started
- prio
-
A task priority value returned by rtapi_prio_xxxx
- uses_fp
-
Deprecated and ignored. All tasks now unconditionally save and restore floating point state. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
- task_id
-
A task ID returned by a previous call to rtapi_task_new
rtapi_task_new creates but does not start a realtime task. The task is created in the "paused" state. To start it, call either rtapi_task_start for periodic tasks, or rtapi_task_resume for free-running tasks.
On success, returns a positive integer task ID. This ID is used for all subsequent calls that need to act on the task. On failure, returns an RTAPI status code.
