systhread_start() Function

The systhread_start function creates a thread with the given priority, allocates a stack of a specified number of bytes, and calls a specified function with a specified argument.

Syntax

SYS_THREAD systhread_start(int prio, int stksz, void (*fn)(void *), void *arg);

Return Values

A new SYS_THREAD pointer if the call succeeds, or the constant SYS_THREAD_ERROR if the call does not succeed.
