########## Documentation/reference/os/events.rst: ########## @@ -0,0 +1,113 @@ +============== +Events +============== + +Events groups are synchronization primitives that allow tasks to wait +for multiple conditions to be met before proceeding. They are particularly +useful in scenarios where a task needs to wait for several events to occur +simultaneously. +This concept can be particularly powerful in real-time operating systems (RTOS). + +Overview +========================= + +An event group consists of a set of binary flags, each representing a +specific event. Tasks can set, clear, and wait on these flags. When a +task waits on an event group, it can specify which flags it is interested +in and whether it wants to wait for all specified flags to be set or just +any one of them. + +Configuration Options +===================== + +``CONFIG_SCHED_EVENTS`` + This option enables event objects. Threads may wait on event + objects for specific events, but both threads and ISRs may deliver + events to event objects. + +Common Events Interfaces +================================ + +Events Types +-------------------- + +- ``nxevent_t``. Defines one event group entry. +- ``nxevent_mask_t``. Defines one events mask value. + +Notifier Chain Interfaces +------------------------- + +.. c:function:: int nxevent_init(FAR nxevent_t *event, nxevent_mask_t events) + + Initializes an event object, Set of default events to post + to event. + + :param event: Address of the event object + :param events: Set of events to event + +.. c:function:: int nxevent_destroy(FAR nxevent_t *event) + + This function is used to destroy the event. + + :param event: Address of the event object + +.. c:function:: int nxevent_reset(FAR nxevent_t *event, nxevent_mask_t events) + + Reset events mask to a specific value. + + :param event: Address of the event object + :param events: Set of events to event + +.. c:function:: int nxevent_post(FAR nxevent_t *event, nxevent_mask_t events) + + Post one or more events to an event object. + + This routine posts one or more events to an event object.
