NullTask

associated with a do-nothing Task

SYNOPSIS§

NullTask([ LIMIT, STOP, ACTIVE])

Ports: none

DESCRIPTION§

NullTask simply schedule a task which, when scheduled, does nothing. This can be useful for benchmarking.

  • LIMIT — Unsigned. NullTask will schedule itself at most LIMIT times. 0 means forever. Default is 0.
  • STOP — Boolean. If true, NullTask will stop the driver when LIMIT is reached. Default is false.
  • ACTIVE — Boolean. If false, NullTask will not schedule itself at initialization time. Use the scheduled write handler to schedule the task later. Default is true.

ELEMENT HANDLERS§

  • count (read-only) — Returns the number of times the element has been scheduled.
  • reset (write-only) — Resets the count to 0.
