systhread_start

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);

Returns

A new SYS_THREAD pointer if the call succeeded, or SYS_THREAD_ERROR if the call did not succeed.

Parameters

int prio is the priority of the thread. Priorities are system-dependent.

int stksz is the stack size in bytes. If stksz is zero (0), the function allocates a default size.
