vTaskSuspend

Collaboration diagram for vTaskSuspend:

task. h

void vTaskSuspend( TaskHandle_t xTaskToSuspend );

INCLUDE_vTaskSuspend must be defined as 1 for this function to be available. See the configuration section for more information.

Suspend any task. When suspended a task will never get any microcontroller processing time, no matter what its priority.

Calls to vTaskSuspend are not accumulative - i.e. calling vTaskSuspend () twice on the same task still only requires one call to vTaskResume () to ready the suspended task.

Parameters

xTaskToSuspend

Handle to the task being suspended. Passing a NULL handle will cause the calling task to be suspended.

Example usage:

void vAFunction( void )
{
TaskHandle_t xHandle;
 
  // Create a task, storing the handle.
  xTaskCreate( vTaskCode, "NAME", STACK_SIZE, NULL, tskIDLE_PRIORITY, &xHandle );
 
  // ...
 
  // Use the handle to suspend the created task.
  vTaskSuspend( xHandle );
 
  // ...
 
  // The created task will not run during this period, unless
  // another task calls vTaskResume( xHandle ).
 
  //...
 
 
  // Suspend ourselves.
  vTaskSuspend( NULL );
 
  // We cannot get here unless another task calls vTaskResume
  // with our handle as the parameter.
