NAME

RTTask - Chronolytix Task Class

SYNOPSYS

#include <RTTask.h>

RTEventQueue RTTask_Constructor(char *name, pthread_attr_t *ap, void *(*start_routine)(void *), void *arg);

void RTTask_Exit(void *retval);

char * RTTask_TaskName();

RTEventQueue RTTask_EventQueue();

void RTTask_Log_Task();

DESCRIPTION

RTTask is the Chronolytix class for encapulating POSIX pthread tasks. Each RTTask has a mapped pthread. The Constructor uses the pthread_attr_t just as would a pthread_create(3p), but allows the Chronolytix system to bind an RTEventQueue and control startup/shutdown of the pthread. exits the pthread and frees all the storage associated with the RTTask. Storage associated with thread-private storage, etc. will be handled as for any other pthread upon exit.

The TaskName and EventQueue methods return the associated per-task name and RTEventQueue, respectively. The RTTask_Log_Task method dumps the current task table to RTLog.

RTTask is a core Chronolytix function.
