Obtains the task ID of the currently-executing preemptive task

MPTaskID MPCurrentTaskID ();

function result

The task ID of the current preemptive task. 0

DISCUSSION

Returns the ID of the current preemptive task. If called from a cooperative task, this function returns an ID which is different than the ID of any preemptive task. Nonpreemptive processes may or may not have different task IDs for each application; future implementations of this API may behave differently in this regard.

Note that you can call this function from an interrupt handler.
