◆ RTEMS_ALL_EVENTS

#define RTEMS_ALL_EVENTS 0xffffffff

This constant contains all events in an event set.

The value of this constant is identical to RTEMS_EVENT_0 | ... | RTEMS_EVENT_31.

Definition at line 207 of file event.h.

Function Documentation

◆ rtems_event_receive()

rtems_status_code rtems_event_receive	(	rtems_event_set	event_in,
		rtems_option	option_set,
		rtems_interval	ticks,
		rtems_event_set *	event_out
	)

Receives or gets an event set.

This directive can be used to

get the pending events of the calling task, or
receive events.

To get the pending events use the constant RTEMS_PENDING_EVENTS for the event_in parameter. The pending events are returned to the calling task but the event set of the task is left unaltered. The option_set and ticks parameters are ignored in this case. The directive returns immediately and does not block.

To receive events you have to define an input event condition and some options. The option set specified in option_set defines

if the task will wait or poll for the events, and
if the task wants to receive all or any of the input events.

The option set is built through a bitwise or of the option constants described below.

The task can wait or poll for the events.

Waiting for events is the default and can be emphasized through the use of the RTEMS_WAIT option. The ticks parameter defines how long the task is willing to wait. Use RTEMS_NO_TIMEOUT to wait potentially forever, otherwise set a timeout interval in clock ticks.
Not waiting for events (polling) is selected by the RTEMS_NO_WAIT option. If this option is defined, then the ticks parameter is ignored.

The task can receive all or any of the input events specified in event_in.

Receiving all input events is the default and can be emphasized through the use of the RTEMS_EVENT_ALL option.
Receiving any of the input events is selected by the RTEMS_EVENT_ANY option.

This directive shall be called by a task. Calling this directive from interrupt context is undefined behaviour.

This directive only affects the events specified in event_in. Any pending events that do not correspond to any of the events specified in event_in will be left pending.

To receive all events use the constant RTEMS_ALL_EVENTS for the event_in parameter. This constant is identical to RTEMS_EVENT_0 | ... | RTEMS_EVENT_31 and should not be confused with the option RTEMS_EVENT_ALL.

A task can receive all of the pending events by calling the directive with a value of RTEMS_ALL_EVENTS for the event_in parameter and RTEMS_NO_WAIT | RTEMS_EVENT_ANY for the option_set parameter. The pending events are returned to the calling task and the event set of the task is cleared. If no events are pending then the RTEMS_UNSATISFIED status code will be returned.

Parameters

event_in	is the event set of interest. Use RTEMS_PENDING_EVENTS to get the pending events.
option_set	is the option set.
ticks	is the timeout in clock ticks if the RTEMS_WAIT option was set. Use RTEMS_NO_TIMEOUT to wait potentially forever.
event_out	is the pointer to an event set. The received or pending events are stored in the referenced event set if the operation was successful.

Return values

RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL	The requested operation was successful.
RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS	The `event_out` parameter was NULL.
RTEMS_UNSATISFIED	The events of interest were not immediately available.
RTEMS_TIMEOUT	The events of interest were not available within the specified timeout interval.

◆ rtems_event_send()

rtems_status_code rtems_event_send	(	rtems_id	id,
		rtems_event_set	event_in
	)

Sends an event set to a task.

This directive sends an event set, event_in, to the task specified by id. Based upon the state of the target task, one of the following situations applies:

The target task is blocked waiting for events, then
- if the waiting task's input event condition is satisfied, then the task is made ready for execution, or
- otherwise, the event set is posted but left pending and the task remains blocked.
The target task is not waiting for events, then the event set is posted and left pending.

Events can be sent by tasks or an ISR.

Specifying RTEMS_SELF for id results in the event set being sent to the calling task.

The event set to send shall be built by a bitwise or of the desired events. The set of valid events is RTEMS_EVENT_0 through RTEMS_EVENT_31. If an event is not explicitly specified in the set, then it is not present.

Identical events sent to a task are not queued. In other words, the second, and subsequent, posting of an event to a task before it can perform an rtems_event_receive() has no effect.

The calling task will be preempted if it has preemption enabled and a higher priority task is unblocked as the result of this directive.

Sending an event set to a global task which does not reside on the local node will generate a request telling the remote node to send the event set to the appropriate task.

Parameters

id	is the identifier of the target task to receive the event set.
event_in	is the event set to send.

Return values

RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL	The requested operation was successful.
RTEMS_INVALID_ID	There was no task with the specified identifier.
