OS_SleepThread

Syntax

#include <nitro/os.h>
void OS_SleepThread( OSThreadQueue*  queue );

Arguments

queue Pointer to the thread queue that registers the current thread. If NULL, it is not registered to the thread queue.

Return Values

None.

Description

Pauses current thread and registers it into the thread queue designated by queue

The thread stays in the suspended state until the OS_WakeupThread function is called with this queue argument. However, if this thread was specified with OS_WakeupThreadDirect(), the paused state changes to the executable state.

When queue is NULL, it is not registered to the thread queue. It wakes up by using OS_WakeupThreadDirect() in other threads.
