tk_exd_tsk
Exit and Delete Task
void tk_exd_tsk ( ) ;
None.
Does not return to the context issuing the system call.
The following error can be detected; but since this system call does not return to the context issuing the system call even when error is detected, an error code cannot be passed directly in a system call return parameter. The behavior in case an error occurs is implementation-dependent.
E_CTX Context error (issued from task-independent portion or in dispatch disabled state)
Terminates the invoking task normally and also deletes it.
This system call changes the state of the invoking task to NON-EXISTENT state (no longer exists in
the system).
When a task terminates by tk_exd_tsk, the resources acquired by the task up to that time (memory blocks, semaphores, etc.) are not automatically freed. The user is responsible for releasing such resources before the task exits.
tk_exd_tsk is a system call that does not return to the context from which it was called. Even if an error code is returned when an error of some kind is detected, normally no error checking is performed in the context from which the system call was invoked, leaving the possibility that the program will hang. For this reason these system calls do not return even if error is detected.
