Adding Multitasking Capability to Applications Using Multiprocessing Services

MPExit

Allows a task to terminate itself



 
void MPExit (OSStatus status);

status: An application-defined value of type OSStatus that indicates termination status. This value is sent to the termination message queue in place of the task's result code.

DISCUSSION

When called from within a preemptive task, the task terminates, and the value indicated by the parameter status is sent to the termination message queue you specified in MPCreateTask . Note that you cannot call MPExit from outside a preemptive task.

VERSION NOTES

Introduced with Multiprocessing Services 1.0.
