error_t thread_create(context_entry_t *entry, void *arg, const struct thread_attr_s *attr) [link]
This function is declared in mutek/thread.h source file, line 76.
this function creates a standalone scheduler context. This allocates the thread object and its stack then push the thread in the scheduler running queue.
The entry point function is called with the arg argument when the new thread is first scheduled.
Context data and stack are freed when the entry point function returns. There is no special function to call before entry point exit.
Parameter list:
- entry: Entry point
- arg: Entry point argument
- attr: Thread attributes, may be NULL.
The return value is 0 when done, -ENOMEM if allocation failed.
This is available when CONFIG_MUTEK_THREAD is defined.
