27.2.3: Object Names

Every RTEMS object which has an Id may also have a name associated with it. Depending on the API, names may be either thirty-two bit integers as in the Classic API or strings as in the POSIX API.

Some objects have Ids but do not have a defined way to associate a name with them. For example, POSIX threads have Ids but per POSIX do not have names. In RTEMS, objects not defined to have thirty-two bit names may have string names assigned to them via the rtems.object_set_name service. The original impetus in providing this service was so the normally anonymous POSIX threads could have a user defined name in CPU Usage Reports.
