t_ident pSOS+ System Calls
Notes
See Also
1. Internally, the pSOS+ kernel treats a task name as a 32-bit integer. However,
when the application calls the kernel through the pSOS+ C language API, it
passes the task name as a four-byte character array.
2. The pSOS+ kernel does not check for duplicate task names. If duplicate task
names exist, a t_ident call can return the tid of any task with the duplicate
name.
3. If name is null (for example, (char*)0), then the tid of the calling task is
returned.
Multiprocessor Considerations
1. t_ident() converts a task's name to its tid using a search order determined
by the node input parameter, as described in pSOSystem System Concepts.
Because tasks created and exported by different nodes may not have unique
names, the result of this binding may depend on the order in which the object
tables are searched.
2. If the master node's Global Object Table must be searched, then the pSOS+m
kernel makes a t_ident() RSC to the master node.
3. If the task name is null (i.e., (char*)0), then the node argument is ignored,
and the t_ident() operation returns the tid of the calling task on the local
node.
