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.
